The Other Kilimanjaro: A Hiker's Passage Across Mount Kenya


Overview

The Other Kilimanjaro: A Hiker's Passage Across Mount Kenya Hidden in the heart of Kenya, Mount Kenya rises in icy silence, its jagged peaks crowned with glaciers and its valleys bursting with alpine wonder. Overshadowed by Kilimanjaro to the south, this mountain is no less majestic-offering solitude, raw beauty, and a spiritual journey unlike any other. In this immersive hiking guide, the author blends firsthand experience, cultural insights, and practical knowledge to reveal the many faces of Africa's second-highest peak. From traversing the lush bamboo forests and moorlands to standing at Point Lenana under a sky of endless stars, readers are carried step by step into the rhythms of Mount Kenya. Inside you'll find: Complete Route Guides: Sirimon, Naro Moru, Chogoria, Burguret, and Timau trails explained in detail. Itineraries for Every Adventurer: From 3-day summit attempts to longer traverses. Cultural & Historical Depth: Stories of the Kikuyu people, sacred traditions, and tales of explorers and rebels. Wildlife & Ecology Insights: Monkeys, sunbirds, giant lobelias, and the fragile glaciers of the equatorial highlands. Essential Preparation: Gear checklists, safety tips, altitude guidance, and Swahili/Kikuyu phrases for deeper connection. Whether you are preparing for your own climb or seeking to experience the spirit of Mount Kenya from your armchair, this book will guide, inspire, and carry you into the mountain's timeless embrace. Step off the beaten path, ascend Africa's ""Other Kilimanjaro,"" and discover why Mount Kenya is a hiker's passage to the wild and the sacred.
