A trek combining the ascent of the two highest mountains in Africa
On this rewarding trek we summit Africa’s highest peaks: Mount Kenya (Point Lenana 4985m) and Mount Kilimanjaro (Uhuru Peak 5895m). Mount Kenya is considered one of the most scenic mountains in Africa and on our trek we tackle the mountain using the Sirimon route while we take the Naro Moru route for the descent. Walking through different eco-systems, we try to spot the wildlife that inhabits the mountain and admire unusual fl ora such as the spectacular lobelia and senecio plants. We take advantage of our acclimatisation on Mount Kenya to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro in 6 days through the quiet Rongai Route, using different ascent and descent paths. Highlights include the ice fi elds of Kibo, the daunting Barranco Wall and the breathtaking views from the summit itself.
