Over the route of our 6 day, we will head up to one of the minor summits, Point Lenana 4,985 meters, enjoying spectacular views of the country’s diverse scenery as we go.

We will also hike up to the mountain’s glacier and through fields of snow, which is quite a surreal feeling so close to the equator. Each day of the hike, we will also have the chance to see some of the local wildlife, including rock hyrax and sun birds.
