Mount Kenya is an awe-inspiring sight. Its ragged series of peaks are crowned with snow, and its slopes are thick with forest. The mountain is best seen at dawn, when the days early light silhouette its impressive summit high over the surrounding plains. While the 5199-metre summit is a difficult technical climb, any fit trekker can easily reach the lesser peak of Point Lenana (4985m). This trek takes between 3 and 5 days, through a fascinating world of forests, wildlife, and unique montane vegetation including podocarpus and groundsel, and finally one of the world's rarest sights, equatorial snow.
