MOUNT
KENYA:
Mount
Kenya is a broad, large symmetrical volcano cone whose
diameter at the base is about 12 km it was formed between
2.6 and 3.1 million years ago by eruptions of successive
layers of volcanic lava and agglomerate from a central
vent in the earth surface. Mount Kenya is climbed at all
times of year if possible however it is best to try to
avoid the two rainy seasons that usually start in mid
March and lasts through till mid June. As on any high
mountain, proper equipment is vital for a safe and enjoyable
climb.
Even
with porters, climbers should carry some basic equipment
with them at all times, including rain gear, spare jersey,
water and first aid kit. High altitude problems are caused
through the inability of the human body to adjust to a
through various forms to the often more fatal pulmonary
and cerebral oedemus (Hape and Hace) the later being less
common. Young males seem to be most badly affected. There
are three different route commonly used up the mountain
i.e Sirimon, Naro Moru and Chogoria rute.rapid gain in

sickness experienced to some extent by most climbers.
MOUNT
KILIMANJARO CLIMB:
This
is Africa's highest mountain and the most awesome sight.
Snowcapped and not yet extinct, at (5895m / 91340ft),
it is surrounded by rain forest and is home to many animals
such as Elephants, Buffaloes, Rhinos, Leopards, and Monkeys.
Monkeys and Elands are the only animals that can be seen
at the summits of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks. The snow-capped
peak, the dream of scaling the summit, watching dawn break
and gazing out over the vast African wildlife, plains
and bushland is an experience not to be missed. Kilimanjaro
can be trekked at any time of the year, however, there
is usually a lot of rain during April, May and November
which makes trekking even more challenging.Send us an
