Trek with Elephants on Mt Kenya

Trek with elephants for company on Africa’s second highest mountain, Mt. Kenya and create an unforgettable experience.

Enjoy views of the snow-capped peaks that inspired the 1940s book by Kenya’s first president Jomo Kenyatta, Facing Mount Kenya, which speaks about Agikuyu culture that was hugely influenced by being in the shadow of the mountain.

You will enjoy remarkable views of huge, gentle jungle beats come out to drink in watering holes, their majesty awe-inspiring, exciting and adrenalin-raising .

It would normally take up to six days for a proper trek of the mountain but if pressed for time, start out early m0rning after breakfast to do the trek for a day and return to Nanyuki for the night for a mountainside evening at the sportsman Arms Hotel, a number of budget hotels in the neighborhood, or or spend the night under the mountain at Serena Mountain Lodge.

The one-day trek starts from Serena Mountain Lodge at 2195m into the Mt. Kenya National Forest Reserve, which is home to a variety of wild animals , some of which you can observe at water-hole on mornings drinking, or you could encounter them on the trek.

Observe different plant species and National Geographic-tracked birds and flirt with danger, under the watchful eyes of trained, sniper-sharp park rangers armed with heavy-caliber rifles.

Get a feeling of becoming Indiana Jones in the African wilderness. A perfect safari activity to rejuvenate, meditate and catch a breath of fresh air from the mountain that inspired the name of Kenya.
