Summary:
3rd ascent with Rupia hiring a team of natives, I can only recommend the supervision, kindness and seriousness.
The nights in the camps remain very cold, well plan a suitable equipment.
Although ill, I was able to reach the top, Mickael being very patient and experienced.
On the last night I asked to go back earlier after the summit, he helped me find a comfortable and cheap hotel in the nearest town.

Summary:
Kenya with such beautiful mountainous scenery and a great support team was the best experiences of our lives! The guide, cook and the able porters were very pleasant and knowledgeable and they made us feel very well-taken care of.
The food was excellent and varied, tasty and filling and much as this trip was tough, everything was over-shadowed by the beautiful scenery and experiences. The sunrise at the top was magical - it was a dream comes true.
Big thumbs up to Rupia Adventure for organizing this unforgettable trip for us and highly recommend this company. With the company you’re assured of a hassle-free expedition, just as we did.

Know more about Manyimbo
Mount Kenya dominates Kenya’s central highlands and is the second highest mountain in Africa, rising to 5,199 m. On a Kenya safari you’ll find the mountain’s dramatic glaciated peaks and highland landscapes make it a standout destination for sightseeing, Outdoor & Nature experiences and multi-day trekking adventures.
Yes. The mountain’s accessible routes, like the approach to Point Lenana, support guided multi-day and day-sightseeing treks that work well for family-friendly nature outings and Group-Friendly bookings when you choose appropriate itineraries.
Point Lenana, at 4,985 m, is the glaciated summit reachable by visitors who are physically fit. It’s the popular non-technical summit option on the mountain and a primary goal for many trekkers on multi-day mountain tours.
You can plan mountain trekking and summit attempts focused on the glaciated peaks. Point Lenana is the non-technical summit most visitors aim for, while the higher Batian and Nelion peaks involve technical climbing - ideal for adrenaline-seeking climbers and guided technical expeditions.
Absolutely. The central highlands setting of the mountain complements Outdoor & Nature and Wellness & Relaxation plans - think restorative hikes, highland scenery, and guided nature walks that fit into broader Kenya safari itineraries.
The higher peaks, Batian (5,199 m) and Nelion (5,188 m), require technical climbing skills and equipment. These peaks are suited to experienced climbers and technical expeditions rather than standard trekking itineraries.
