We went on a 4 day hiking trip to Lenana point Mt Kenya with Forever Athletic. It was an amazing and unforgetable experience. The crew was incredible from porters carrying our gear and preparing the camps, to cooks and guides. In preparation of the trip Mathan helped us get our packing lists together and was available to answer any questions. Mount Kenya is beautiful. Although reaching the top is a great feeling, the journey itself was even better for me. Feeling one with nature in an ever changing landscape with almost no sign of human intervention. Don't expect a lot of luxury - you are sleeping in tents on a mountain, but for me that just added to the experience. You are off the grid for a few days - no cell phone reception. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Again, don't expect a Michelin star experience, but just a decent meal being prepared on a mountain, which in itself is already amazing. Going to the toilet is another experience. It is a hole in the ground with a toilet seat on a few pieces of wood and covered by a tent - but it works, toilet paper included. The crew was providing fresh water for everyone. Waking up at night with a clear sky full of stars is another image I will not forget. The hike itself is very doable. What made it tough for me was the influence of altitude. Living in a place at sea level, adapting to higher altitudes was hard and many people in our group had symptoms of altitude sickness. Mathan and the crew were watching peoples health closely and made sure everyone kept safe. It is nice to know you are hiking with an experienced crew who knows what to do and how to react in different situations. Would I hike Mt Kenya or another mountain again? No, for me this was a once in a lifetime experience. Again, hiking at high altitude should not be underestimated and I am just not made for it 🙂. It was one of the best experiences in my life however and a lasting memory. Thanks to Mathan and the team of Forever Athletic Read More
