Afro-Alpine moorland and other plant-life at
higher elevations. Mountain trekking in Mount
Kenya rolls through dense forestation with the

jungles and enjoying the colorful sun birds

Although, Mount Kenya is situated on the equator,
but at an altitude of 4,000m it gets freezing at
night. So, be prepared for the below freezing
point temperatures. If you are trekking during
the short and long rains, expect to have hot
overhead sun and plenty of rain. The long rain
season in Kenya continues from mid March to mid
Jun, while the short rain season continues during
September to October. Although Mount Kenya
remains treakkable all around the year, but
during the long rain season you will need to be
prepared for heavy rain falls and muddy tracks.
