Day Trips from Nairobi to Mt. Kenya

Travel from Nairobi to the central highlands to explore the slopes of Mt. Kenya, the second-highest peak in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Day trips take you to the park’s lower forest zones for a guided nature walk to see diverse flora and the occasional elephant or forest hog. Let a professional handle the mountain transit, while you take in views of the jagged, snow-dusted summits from the Sirimon Gate. Most itineraries include a visit to the Equator crossing marker for a quick photo opportunity. Guided tours ensure an efficient journey to this ancient volcanic massif.
