If you are looking for an adventurous and relaxing day trip out of Nairobi, this is the perfect option. Just 95kms out of Nairobi, the Tana River has some
excellent rapids. A rafting trip on the river offers a combination of 16 kms of White Water (up to Class V in season) and 12 km of clear river ideal for calm drifts through spectacular scenery. The rafting on this stretch of river is ideal for first time
rafters, and is an excellent taster for Kenya's other white water adventures. The drifts are a good opportunity for bird watching, and over 100 species have been recorded along the riverbanks.
Mt Kenya, Africa's second highest peak is regarded as the realm of Ngai, god of the local Kikuyu people. Traditionally, all Kikuyu homes were built to face this sacred peak. They
call it Kirinyaga, or 'Place of Light'. The mountain is an awe-inspiring sight. Its ragged series of peaks are crowned with snow, and its slopes are thick with forest. The mountain is best seen at dawn, when the days early light silhouettes its impressive
summit high over the surrounding plains.While the 5199 metre summit is a difficult technical climb, the lesser peak of Point Lenana (4985m) can be easily reached by any fit trekker. This trek takes between 3 and 5 days, through a fascinating world of forests,
wildlife, unique montane vegetation including podocarpus and grounsel, and finally one of the worlds rarest sights, equatorial snow.
For those who don't want to climb the Mountain the cool highlands that surround its base are well worth a visit. The forests are ideal for game viewing, and there are crystal clear mountain streams that abound with trout....
