Kilimanjaro & Mount Kenya: A Climbing and Trekking Guide | Buy
Cameron Burns has filled a void with the publication of this climbing and trekking guide for Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. While much is probably written about Kili, there is very little practical literature about Mount Kenya. The introductory pages are full of useful hints for travelling in Kenya that, from my recent experience there, all ring true. |
