Travel Guide: Beijing to Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya is gaining recognition among Chinese mountaineers as a premier African peak. With improving air connections via Addis Ababa and Guangzhou, the journey is increasingly straightforward. The mountain offers genuine high-altitude experience at 4,985m — similar to many Tibetan and Sichuan peaks but in a completely different ecosystem. Chinese climbers will find the equatorial alpine environment fascinatingly unique.
Mount Kenya National Park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
