Day 4: Samburu to Mount Kenya
This morning Kenya’s highest mountain awaits you. We transfer from Samburu National Reserve to the magnificent Mount Kenya, which looms above the plains at a height of almost 5,200 metres.

A UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, Mount Kenya was formed some three and half million years ago and is considered sacred by the Kikuyu people, who believe it is the abode of their god Ngai. You could spend all day gazing at the incredible views, however a number of activities are on offer for those are not content with just looking at the scenery. On offer are guided forest walks, trips up to the moorland zone of the mountain, and fishing for river trout. Mount Kenya truly offers something for all visitors!

Serena's Mountain Lodge, where you will be staying, is a timber-constructed eco-lodge nestled in the forest and offering champagne-clear mountain air and sweeping views over the forest canopy. Located on the mountain slopes at 2,134 meters above sea level, the lodge is cool and tranquil and an ideal place from which to view wildlife. The open-air viewing-deck looks down on to a water hole and salt-lick, which attracts herds of elephant, buffalo and birds. There is also a hide, offering unique game viewing and photographic opportunities, situated as it is just meters away from the watering hole to which the animals go to quench their thirst.

For dinner you will be offered a choice of dishes from the a-la-carte menu, with most food being sourced from the surrounding land and communities. The restaurant has an extensive wine list.
