Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro straddle the equator and tower over the African plains with their summit snow and ice. They are the two highest mountains in Africa and Kilimanjaro is one of the seven continental summits. Our trek to climb Mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro on Chogoria, Sirimon and Machame routes combines both these world famous peaks via the most interesting and varied routes. Climbing Mt Kenya via the Chogoria and Sirimon routes, we trek up one side and down the other so see much more of the mountain and its different scenery, from lakes and rivers on the way up to crossing below rocky pinnacles as we start our descent back down to the vegetated lower slopes. Relaxing in Nairobi between treks we can look forward to Kilimanjaro and really savour the experience having got into the routine of a trek on Mt Kenya. Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Machame route gains us height steadily through forest and onto the barren Shira plateau. The Machame route has great views of Kibo and past volcanic activity is obvious as we trek past lava formations and traverse below the summit icefields on the south circuit path to start the last pull to the summit, Uhuru Peak. At 5895 metres Kilimanjaro is the world's highest freestanding mountain and an unforgettable achievement, made easier and more enjoyable because of acclimatising to nearly 5000 metres on Mt Kenya. In terms of climbing East African mountains, to climb Mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro on Chogoria, Sirimon and Machame routes means this trip is as good as it gets! Why not extend your trip and enjoy East Africa for a little longer either by combining any of our trips, or by adding a safari or beach extension detailed on our Trip Extensions page.
