Mt Kenyanational park is less famous than the Masai Mara or Kilimanjaro but has everything the adventurous spirit could want.
The mountain itself is the main draw for most people but the park itself has plenty of wildlife and is much less crowded than the big game parks.
The climb up and back takes 5-6 days and is pretty strenuous. Most nights there are huts to stay in but camping is necessary on some routes. Listening at night in your tent to a herd of buffalo grazing a few metres away is an unforgettable experience !
It is more or less compulsory to take a guide and porter - you won't want to cook your own food or put up your tent anyway. Amateur climbers can reach Lenana point, just short of 5,000 metres.
