Lukenya Rock Climbing- makes an exciting day out to experience Outside differently. Only an hour’s drive from Nairobi Lukenya offers a variety of climbing routes. They include face climbs, some jamming cracks, and overhangs.
Every fortnight we have a scheduled rock climbing session happening. There are hundreds of trad routes and sport-climbing options. The climbing routes vary in difficulty from easy to very severe.
