Mount Kenya:

Some say it’s a more interesting climb that the neighbouring Kilimanjaro and this is no easy climb! Before undertaking a climb of this magnitude, climbers must be fully prepared.
Kenya’s landscapes:
Among the most diverse and dramatic on the African continent. The eco-systems range from vibrant coastal marine parks, indigenous forest in western Kenya (Kakamega), afro-alpine moorland, wetlands, savannahs, teeming with large mammals and in the North there are wild scant deserts, great for camel trekking and wilderness tours.
The People of Kenya:
Last, but not in any way least, is the beauty of the Kenyan people. As diverse as the landscapes they live in, the Kenyan people are vibrant and beautiful. Among the many other tribes, the colorful Masai and Samburu tribesmen and women, retain traditions that date back to the origins of mankind itself. Nomadic and regal, they continue to live in perfect harmony with their natural environment.
So, whatever your interest, you can be sure that Kenya will provide a wonderfully colorful, relaxing, exciting and fun filled time.
