This day’s Mount Kenya hike begins at 3 am. You leave the camp onto the rocky path that leads to Point Lenana. We get there at 6:30 am after 3 hours, to enjoy the sunrise. The soft lighting of the sun hitting Mount Kenya snow at dawn is picture perfect. It will leave you awestruck as it ignites everything else, leaving new life along its path.
