Perched at a height of 17000 ft. /5199m, Mt. Kenya is acclaimed as the second tallest mountain in Africa. It is home to a triumvirate of peaks with Batian towering the highest, followed by the slightly lesser Nelion and Lenana. The glacier-carved structures of this dormant volcano provide climbers with awe-inspiring vistas.
