A brand-new, tented camp in the lush, indigenous forests of Mt. Kenya, just 40 minutes from Nanyuki town, Ontulili is all about exploring Kenya’s iconic mountain on foot. From rambling trails surrounded by thick, Afro-montane trees to tumbling waterfalls (straight from the mountain glaciers!) and gin-clear lakes, the walking-only camp will provide an incredibly unique opportunity to witness this special ecosystem up close. Wildlife-wise, colobus monkeys hop, skip and jump overhead whilst forest elephants, leopards and hyenas roam stealthily through the trees, but really, this is an experience to be enjoyed for what it is: nature, at its utterly beautiful best.
