Go To Mount Kenya

A 5 Day Mount Kenya trek!

A trip to tell and re-tell . . .
I have this thing about great trips, trips that have a cauldron of stories, laughs, special moments, anything and everything. And hanging over the cauldron are all those amazing people who make sure it all works, who react calmly, are knowledgeable, conversational, people you want to keep in your head forever.

Wild animals on Mt. Kenya do not normally come in contact with hikers and because of the dense forest most species are rarely seen. If surprised or provoked they, particularly cape buffalo and elephant, may attack.

Talking, frequently clapping or making a ‘hooting’ sound while hiking through the forest zones warns animals you are approaching and they should move away from you. Do not approach the animal or proceed along the trail if it fails to move away. Consider backtracking away from elephant and buffalo in particular. Feeding wild animals disrupts their natural behaviour and this includes monkeys, hyrax and birds. You may also be attacked if the animal is aggressive, so exercise caution and leave the wildlife alone. Do not break twigs or branches and leave flowers to grow where you find them — that is where they are most beautiful
