KENYA MOUNTAINEERING
SAFARIS
Mount Kenya is a broad, large symmetrical volcano cone whose diameter
at the base is about 12 km it was formed between 2.6 and 3.1 million
years ago by eruptions of successive layers of volcanic lava and
agglomerate from a central vent in the earth surface. Mount Kenya
is climbed at all times of year if possible however it is best
to try to avoid the two rainy seasons that usually start in mid
March and lasts through till mid June. As on any high mountain,
proper equipment is vital for a safe and enjoyable climb. Even
with porters, climbers should carry some basic equipment with
them at all times, including rain gear, spare jersey, water and
first aid kit.
High altitude problems are caused through the inability of the
human body to adjust to a through various forms to the often more
fatal pulmonary and cerebral oedemus (Hape and Hace) the later
being less common. Young males seem to be most badly affected.
