Practical Q&A

How much does it cost to climb Mount Kenya?

The KWS park fee is about USD 70/day for non-residents (KES 800 EA citizen; KES 1,100 resident) — and it's PER DAY, so a 3-4 day climb multiplies it. Guides, porters and hut/camping fees are extra and arranged via an operator. Point Lenana (4,985 m) is the trekkers' summit.
