Mount Kenya
Africa's second-highest mountain, and the good news is you don't need technical climbing experience to reach Point Lenana. Just fitness, a few days, and a route that crosses five distinct climate zones on the way up.
Highlights
- Point Lenana — the trekking summit, no climbing gear needed
- Sirimon, Naro Moru and Chogoria routes, each with a different feel
- Alpine lakes and strange giant plants the higher you climb
- Nowhere near as crowded as Kilimanjaro
