Rutundu Log Cabins
Mount Kenya
Two remote log cabins by a high-altitude lake known for trout fishing.
Mount Kenya rises to 17,057 feet on the equator, its glacier-scarred summit surrounded by bamboo forest, giant lobelias and tarns. Trekkers climb to Point Lenana on routes such as Sirimon and Chogoria, while others come for trout fishing, forest walks and the views from the conservancies on its lower slopes.
Where to stay
The best options are cottages and lodges on the mountain's flanks, many on private land, plus rustic cabins for anglers higher up.
Good to know
The clearest weather is from January to February and July to October. The town of Nanyuki is the main base.
