Travel Guide: Doha to Mount Kenya
Doha's position as a global transit hub makes Mount Kenya accessible from virtually anywhere. Qatar Airways' direct Nairobi service is excellent, and the 5.5-hour flight makes this the Gulf's closest serious mountain. Doha-based expatriates and Qatari adventure travellers increasingly choose Mt Kenya over more distant Himalayan or South American options for high-altitude trekking.
Mount Kenya National Park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
