    This goes to the top of Lenana which is a sub peak on the side of Mount Kenya. The actual summit of Mount Kenya can be seen at 17:13. It is a technical rock climb to summit Mount Kenya and so the tourists are not taken there.

      They went as far as lenana peak. Which is still a great fete. Most people don't go beyond Lenana.
      The 2nd highest is Nelion and the highest Batian. Those two are a technical climb though. I wish more people went to Batian. The videos of the climb would be extra awesome.

      If you shop around, $300 including park fees, guide, porters, gear, food and camping for a 4-day hike. Though booking in advance, we met people paying up to $700.

      Cyclist117 this is great advice and I had a feeling you were going to say that. It always seems cheaper to book while you’re there and inside the country. You’ve saved me time and money, many thank 😀🤟

      Cyclist117 Mt. Kenya mandatory park entry fees for non-residents are USD 208 for a 4-day package. I’ll let that sink in. Not everything you read on the internet will apply to you, do your own research. It is generally cheaper to book in country than online, but $300 for a 4-day Mt. Kenya trip for non-residents is no bueno.
