"When we contacted ASTA regarding Africa Point, and were informed that the company was legitimate and had no negative reports , our initial concerns were resolved and we purchased our tour to Egypt through them that we will remember for a lifetime" Walker Voltaire, Maryland USA
Join Us In Saving Mt Kenya
Reaching the snow-capped summit is the ultimate joy of a mountain climber. However, those who love to scale the heights of Mt Kenya - the second highest
mountain in Africa - have a reason to worry. Thanks to global warming and climate change, glaciers on Mt Kenya are melting at an alarming rate and
scientists predict they could be wiped out soon if urgent measures are not taken.
According to research compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), 7 of the 18 glaciers present atop Mount Kenya in 1900 had disappeared by 1986 and
the remaining eleven glaciers had lost between 60% and 92% of their area. The report further added that the total area covered by glaciers was only 0.4
sq km in 2000 compared to 1.6 sq km in 1900 - representing a 75% loss since the turn of the century.
Aware of the impact of deforestation on the delicate ecosystem of Mt Kenya, Africa Point has partnered with Tupande Initiative to donate seedlings to
be planted on the slopes of the mountain.
