Mt. Kenya

With its rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes, Mount Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa. There are about 20 glacial tarns (small lakes) of varying sizes and numerous glacial moraine features between 3,950 m and 4,800 m.

Mount Kenya's terrain is more rugged and its landscapes more challenging, making a summit bid more difficult; the success rate for hikers to summit Mount Kilimanjaro is around 70 – 80% compared to about 60% for Mount Kenya. Whichever mountain you choose, it'll be an adventure.

“Since 1985, at least 150 people have died on the mountain,” Kenya Wildlife Service Warden Bongo Woodley told AFP, attributing many of the deaths to altitude sickness and some even to suicide by jumping off cliffs.
