Mount Kenya is calling.

It feels like it was a long time ago we called for ordinary people to climb this extraordinary mountain and now we are just weeks away from departure.

On September 18th our team will leave the UK for the most incredible experience of their lives.

We trek through equatorial rainforest rich in wildlife, including elephant and waterbuck, across moorlands and above remote gorges where you can relive the excitement felt by the first explorers. We camp by mesmerising lakes fed by waterfalls. On clear days we can see the summit of Kilimanjaro, 200 miles away across the African savannah. We summit at dawn to capture the sunrise over this spiky eerie landscape and we marvel at what seems like all of Africa falling away below.

The diversity of habitat and wildlife, the absence of other trekkers, and geography akin to the set of Jurassic Park combined with the challenge of the ascent make a climb to Point Lenana an experience never to be forgotten.
