Mount Kenya Guide - Climbing Guide Batian / Nelion

Climbing Guide on Mount Kenya

On Mount Kenya, you can choose between trekking and climbing:

• The trekking tour follows the same itinerary with a little more time to catch your breath or explore the landscape.
• The climbing tour aims for the main peaks Nelion (5189m) and/or Batian (5199m) in winter.

More detailed information can be found at Climbing > Mount Kenya. 

Our local guides are trained by us and know the standard route very well. However, they are not trained to the level of an IAMGA/IVBV mountain guide (e.g. somewhat slower in rope handling). If you are interested in being guided by one of our international climbing experts, please contact us via form, email, or phone.

• USA (YDS) 5.6 or European UIAA 4+ / fr. 4a on alpine rock
