FAQs: Kenya
What should I know about Kenya?
The Republic of Kenya actually takes its name from Mount Kenya. The peak, which is the tallest in the country and second highest in Africa, has long been a challenging climb for advanced mountaineers. Boasting three summits, it is ideal to spend a week or two on its flanks trying to conquer them all.
Outside of mountain climbing there is plenty else to do here too. Scuba diving along the coast is quite popular. Mountain biking and trekking through the Rift Valley are too. There’s also whitewater rafting on the Tana River and, of course, iconic safaris, either driving or walking.
No trip is complete without paying homage to our ancestors and going to see Turkana Boy in the Nairobi National Museum. He is the most complete early skeleton ever found, having been dated to between 1.5 and 1.6 million years ago. Turkana Boy is a homo erectus specimen, one of the forbearers to the homo sapien species and offer a lot of insight into how we evolved into what we are today.
Why should I choose Kenya for my adventure?
Stunning scenery
From the top of Mount Kenya in the country’s central mountain range to the shores of Lake Victoria in the west and the iconic East African Rift Valley in the north, there is so much to see in this relatively small east African nation.
Go on safari
When you’re not out climbing in the mountains, then discover another side of Kenya, its abundant wildlife. The annual migration of the wildebeest across the serengeti is considered one fo the seven wonders of the natural world. Take this chance to see the iconic lion prides as well.
Visit Nairobi
Every trip to Kenya begins in Nairobi. While you’re here, check out the excellent, locally sourced coffee at one of the plentiful cafes.

In June, 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya, with Trekking Mount Kenya. I spent 4 days on the mountain and experienced the wonderful challenge and the friendly helpfulness and knowledge of my guides and porters. Everything was provided for my comfort and enjoyment so that it was a thoroughly fabulous and memorable trek! I recommend this company whole-heartedly.
