CHOGORIA - NAROMORU TREK COSTS & ROUTE ITINERARY FOR MOUNT KENYA
CHOGORIA - NAROMORU ROUTE SUMMARY FOR YOUR MOUNT KENYA CLIMB WITH AFRICANMECCA
For a distinct mountain climbing experience in Africa, Mount Kenya is a delightful alternative to Mount Kilimanjaro. Rearing 5199 meters above the Kenyan plains of the Great Rift Valley, it is 696 meters shorter than its rival, but offers a more beautiful and isolated experience with only 15,000 visitors a year, compared to Kilimanjaro’s 50,000 and over.
The main peaks, Batian (5199 meters) and Nelion (5188 meters), can only be scaled by skilled mountaineers, but healthy, fit trekkers can safely access the lesser of the tri-peak, Lenana Point, at 4985 meters. Trekking on Mount Kenya with AfricanMecca offers multiple wonders, from rapidly changing flora and fauna in different zones to brooding lava towers and glaciers reflected in still, rock-bound tarns.
Nowhere else on earth can you climb through tropical forest, home to elephants, hyenas, antelopes and monkeys, to find yourself alone in bizarre prehistoric alpine desert, only to be startled by a helicopter ferrying affluent highlands fishermen on their discerning vacation in Africa to cast for trout in an icy mountain tarn.
