Best Time To Visit
Mount Kenya has two dry seasons—January to February and late June to October—bringing the clearest skies and firmest trails. The long and short rains make paths muddy and views unpredictable.
Clear, warm days and the best conditions on the south side of the peaks—prime season for climbing Nelion via Mackinder’s Route.
The wettest months, with heavy rain, muddy forest trails and cloud on the summits. Most climbers avoid this season.
Cooler temperatures, stable weather and clear views. With the sun on the north side, Batian’s North Face comes into condition.
Afternoon showers return in November and ease through December, leaving green moorland and quieter trails.
