Majestically standing, Mount Kenya that straddles across Meru and Nyeri counties and part of Kirinyaga is the second highest peak in Africa standing at 5,199m high. It is an ancient extinct volcano. There are 12 remnant glaciers on the mountain, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks that sit at the head of the U-shaped glacial valleys.
With its rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes, this mountain is one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa. The park hosts approximately 20 lakes and tarns. Three major peaks dot the mountainous scenes. These are; Batian (5,199m) & Nelion (5,188m). The two are mainly for visitors interested in technical climbing activities. The third peak is Point Lenana (4,984m).
The scenery and ecological formations surrounding this World Heritage Site are breathtakingly beautiful. The Park is also a Biosphere Reserve.

Mt Kenya Challange Sirimon Route Down Chogoria
This tour is offered by;
We had a number of stops on our itinerary and asked Tegu to organise the trip for us - they were brilliant along every step, from booking (always available to answer questions clearly on WhatsApp), helping us understand how visas work, transits across the border, etc. We wanted to have safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania, as well as to climb Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano and see lake Natron. They organised the border crossing, all the tour days, different vehicles and drivers on different sides of the border, and all the admin associated! We really felt that we were in good hands. The driver/guides were also really friendly and experienced, and we felt able to ask them anything we needed. For the price, they can't be beaten! Would definitely recommend and we certainly feel we got our money's worth.
