And crucially, because the peak is 1,300 meters lower than Uhuru, you drastically reduce the physiological risk of severe altitude sickness.
HHOST

The other major regional alternative is Mount Kenya, specifically aiming for Point Linana.
HHOST
63:38
It sits at 4,985 meters, which puts it 900 meters below Uhuru Peak.
HHOST
63:43
It is a rockier, steeper terrain, so it feels much more like authentic mountaineering than a pure high-altitude trek.
HHOST
63:50
A five-day expedition there runs roughly $1,500, and it rates a spectacular 4.9 from 742 reviews.
PhilHOST

But I have to issue a massive real-time caution on Mount Kenya.
PhilHOST

The Kenyan government drastically altered their park fees on October 1st, 2025, attempting to raise them to $70 a day.
PhilHOST
64:10
However, the Kenyan high court legally suspended that fee increase just two days later on October 3rd.

His redeeming blood has broken the power of the enemy over those that come to him.

Even if you've sinned your whole lifetime, even if your sins are higher, piled higher than the Mount Kenya, even if your sins are as red as scarlet, even if you've neglected Him and spurned Him, even if you've not given one word of acknowledgement, not one word of thanks to Him, His grace is sufficient.

Even if I have no affection, no love, even if I'm in this low, low estate, I cannot make myself better.

I cannot pay back for all that I've done wrong.

In today's episode, we will explore the deep familial traditions of both the royal family in England and the Spencer family's historic connection to St. Mary Magdalene's church on the Sandringham estate and the Jeremiah 31-33 prophecy.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST

In a surprising twist, we will tie in Hopi spirituality at Mount Kenya, where Prince William proposed to Catherine, as it is one of the four mountain ranges in that are part of Hopi spirituality.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
3:28
I am intimately connected to the other three mountain ranges.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
3:32
When Catherine and Diana came through, I had no idea about these mountain ranges, but when I learned about them, I trusted my internal authority at a whole other profound level.

And the universe dropped an unmistakable prophetic geographical receipt of this truth at the very moment her royal partnership was sealed.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
20:24
In October 2010, Prince William took Catherine deep into the isolated wilderness of East Africa.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST
20:31
There, at a secluded log cabin on the rugged slopes of Mount Kenya, he knelt and proposed to her with Princess Diana's iconic oval sapphire engagement ring.
Carrie Mae BlaserHOST

think about the staggering multi-dimensional geometry of this location mount kenya is a massive equatorial stratovolcano that is the highest mountain on the african continent but more deeply in the ancient sacred cosmology of the hopi tradition The end of an old age of human stagnation is always marked by severe purification, a time of intense fire, erratic water, and unyielding winds where the earth clears its own field.

I mean, the cool thing was each experience, how I got to meet people from different parts of the world and learn about things.
Jenn DrummondGUEST
40:01
Like, when I went to Mount Kenya, I met with guides there and I learned about period poverty, and we raised money to bring over supplies so that we could keep 400 women in school for four years that otherwise would miss a week, a month every single time they had their period.
Jenn DrummondGUEST
40:21
And I would have not known about this at all if I was not pursuing the goal that I was pursuing.
Jenn DrummondGUEST
40:28
So when you set a goal, it by all means gives you direction and allows you to say yes and no to things and gives you boundaries to build your life around, but it's truly just the direction.

Donaldi PermanaGUEST

Jan. It's like, I, I'm, I'm talking mountains, mountains, like, trails, Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, you've been everywhere, but the coolest thing you've done is kayaking?
Jan BakkerGUEST
2:08
Well, the thing is, it's hard to choose from the hiking pa- uh, from the hiking, uh, trips that I've done.
Jan BakkerGUEST
2:14
So basically, it's easier to talk about something that's not hiking, uh, because I...

23 MINS LATER

Jan BakkerGUEST
25:20
I mean, it's, it's just objectively high.
Jan BakkerGUEST
25:22
We were well acclimatized.
Jan BakkerGUEST
