Let’s go and experience the mountain differently. In addition to seeking to reach the summit we also commit to being aware of every moment on the way. It is called connection with self and nature. A beautiful journey up this snow-capped mountain of East Africa right at the Equator. Mount Kenya is one of the places every human should visit at least once in a lifetime. It offers a wholesome experience of fun, connection and self-discovery. Mount Kenya Batian Climb via the North Face especially is probably Africa’s most technical climb.
