Travel Guide: Paris to Mount Kenya
Paris offers direct flight access to Nairobi, making Mount Kenya an achievable week-long adventure for French travellers. French mountaineers and alpinists will find the terrain above 4,000m reminiscent of the Alps but with equatorial African character — giant groundsels, volcanic rock, and glacial tarns replace pine forests and chalets. The cost is a fraction of comparable Alpine guided ascents.
Mount Kenya National Park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
