Travel Guide: Amsterdam to Mount Kenya
Amsterdam Schiphol is one of Europe's best-connected hubs to Nairobi, with KLM's daily direct service making Mount Kenya incredibly accessible for Dutch and European travellers. The overnight flight arrives in the morning, giving you time to rest before heading north. Mount Kenya offers European trekkers outstanding value compared to Kilimanjaro, with equally stunning scenery, genuine wilderness solitude, and costs that are roughly half.
Mount Kenya National Park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
