    THE MOUNTAIN MENU

    • All our food is fresh, and the meals are tasty, well-prepared, and served by our staff. Three-course meals with vegetables, fruit, salads, desserts, soups, popcorn, biscuits, and a complete range of beverages including herbal teas. We want you to enjoy your holiday on Mount Kenya, which means good food! Our cooks are all well experienced in Western tastes so expect as an example a soup starter with bread, tomato, and avocado side salad followed by chicken casserole with boiled potatoes and julienne carrots with a fresh fruit medley to finish with, and coffee and chocolate for supper.
    • If you have dietary preferences then do write this to us after you make up your mind that you will be trekking with us, also inform Cushy Adventures staff after your arrival/briefing. Our cooks can easily cater to most preferences.

    Water and Water purification

    We do not bring bottled water on the mountain; we boil all water from the rivers and glacial streams. Our staff will fill your water bottles every evening. Feel free to bring some water purification tablets for yourself if you would like the extra reassurance (iodine is fine). You could also bring a Steripen, which will also kill all germs
