How do I prepare for Mt. Kenya? EVERYTHING you need | Mount Kenya guide | Tips

🌄 Hey there, aspiring Mount Kenya conqueror! 🏔️ To make your climb an epic adventure, it's crucial to gear up with items that'll keep you cozy, dry, and all set to face whatever Mother Nature throws your way. Here's a friendly checklist for your journey:
🎒 **Bags**: Pack a medium-large rucksack for your trusty porter to carry your gear up the mountain. Don't forget a smaller pack for your trek essentials. You can leave those suitcases and other travel bags safely at the mountain's base. 🧳
🌧️ **Shell**: Equip yourself with a waterproof layer to shield you from those unexpected rain showers and chilly winds. And guess what? An umbrella can be a real game-changer! Don't forget those gaiters to keep your boots dry and mud-free. ☔
❄️ **Warmth**: Layer up for maximum coziness. Think base layers or T-shirts, a toasty fleece or shirt, and a warm jacket or top. You'll be toasty in no time! 🧥
👣 **Feet**: Happy feet, happy trek! Invest in high-quality trekking boots, comfy sandals, and a bunch of trekking socks. Your feet will thank you. 🥾
😴 **Sleeping**: Ensure a good night's sleep with a warm sleeping bag, preferably a 3 or 4-season one, and a cushy sleeping mat. Sweet dreams await! 🌙
🧤 **Extremities**: Don't forget those little extras! Pack gloves to keep your fingers warm, a snug hat for your noggin, and a trusty sunhat to keep the rays at bay. ☀️
🌟 **Miscellaneous**: Prepare for surprises along the way with trekking poles, water bottles, a flask for that hot cocoa, your favorite high-energy snacks (yum!), a head torch for those late-night adventures, a power pack to keep your gadgets alive, and a good book for some mountain reading time. 📚
🌞 **Personal Care**: Lastly, stay sun-smart with suncream, keep those pesky mosquitoes away with anti-malarials, have a compact first aid kit handy, and don't forget your wash kit to stay fresh and clean! 🌿
Mount Kenya is a volcano created approximately 3 million years after the opening of the East African Rift. Before glaciation, it was 7,000 m (23,000 ft) high. It was covered by an ice cap for thousands of years. This has resulted in very eroded slopes and numerous valleys radiating from the peak.There are currently 11 small glaciers, which are shrinking rapidly, and may disappear by 2050.
The hike to the top on Lenna takes an average on 4 day's, some people take longer if they want to explore other parts of the park.
Guide I would recommend John Mukuruma [phone]
I've climbed with John 3 times and he was really polite and he encourages you all the way. He is also a great story teller. I would recommend John 1000%

The details💯neat job. Can't wait to get the peak and have a revelation too

[@anitanyamizi]

You will definitely enjoy, I’d say the best months to go are either Jan/feb or October. Basically when it’s not raining 😊 you’re going to love it

[@RFE812]

How does Mount Kenya’s difficulty compare to the other continent’s second highest mountains?(K2,Ojos Del Salado,Mount Logan,Dykh-Tau,Mount Tyree & Mandala Peak?)

[@anitanyamizi]

Hey, I haven't been to those. But mount Kenya is the second highest in Africa. Physically it's okay. It's not difficult. It's just the altitude that you need to be prepared for.
