Trekking Mount Kenya or Mount Kilimanjaro is a genuinely different kind of trip from a game-drive safari - it rewards fitness and preparation rather than just time in a vehicle. Both mountains are reachable on foot without technical climbing skill via their standard routes, though the altitude, cold and multi-day pace should not be underestimated. Below are our current mountain itineraries.
Not for the standard trekking routes to Point Lenana (Mount Kenya) or Uhuru Peak (Kilimanjaro) - both are walking trails, not technical climbs. You do need solid fitness and, ideally, some multi-day hiking experience.
Mount Kenya's Sirimon route (4 days) is shorter and lower-altitude than Kilimanjaro, making it a good introduction to high-altitude trekking or a standalone trip if your time is limited. Kilimanjaro is the bigger undertaking and the higher summit.
Yes - both mountains sit within reach of Kenya's and Tanzania's main safari circuits, so a trek before or after a safari is a common combination. Ask us about building a combined itinerary.
