Mount Kenya is an ancient volcanic mountain much older than Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is the second highest peak in Africa and stands somewhat unjustly in the shadow of it's taller neighbour Kilimanjaro, which lies some 320km away in the south and is visible on a clear day. Magnificent cliffs and glaciers protect the highest peaks of Nelion (5188m) and Batian (5199m).  At the centre of the massif, the main peaks rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m, Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John 4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for technical climbers.  Magnificent cliffs and glaciers protect the highest peaks of Nelion (5188m) and Batian (5199m).
