| Peter Muambi made it to the highest peak of Mt Kenya |
Peter Muambi, 15, spent his Christmas holiday preparing to climb Mt Kenya and when he did it, he reached the mountain’s highest peak, believed to be be 5,199 metres above sea level (17,057 feet).
His two previous attempts to reach the peak of Mt Kenya, Africa’s second highest mountain, were frustrated by bad weather and sickness. His first attempt on December 10, 2013 was cut short when he reached Old Moses camp, which is 3,300 metres above sea level. “I had a very bad experience. The weather was harsh and I even got sick and my guide decided that we should go back. But I never gave up,” said Muambi, as he showed me pictures and videos of his failed expedition at his parent’s home in Nakuru County.
