Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro
Kenya and Tanzania are two of the most famous safari countries in the world, both having superb national parks including the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. What is less well known is that they also have the highest and the second highest mountains in Africa, that is Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing and Mount Kenya Climbing. Kili as Mount Kilimanjaro is also known is the also the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Both are suitable for trekkers and technical climbers alike but Mount Kenya has better opportunities for serious climbing. The real attraction of these mountains is that any reasonably fit person who enjoys walking and that they can be climbed or walked for most of the year can reach the summit.
Getting there
For both mountains Nairobi in Kenya is ideal. Nairobi is easily accessible from Europe and America and serviced by most of the major international European airlines. The city itself is well placed for both mountains with good travel links.
