Mt Kenya Trek
For the nature admirer who simply wants to have a leisurely day walking around the Mt Kenya, or the hiker with the desire to explore the unique forest of the lower slopes of the Mt Kenya - hoping to have that glimpse of the summits, and for the more ambitious technical climber who wishes to have a go at the twin summits of Mt Kenya i.e. Batian & Nelion.
This challenging, non-technical ascent can be made by any normal, healthy person.
Tour Itinearary:
Day 1: Morning spend sorting and organizing personal equipment for the mountain trek. Lunch is at the base lodge (this is an extra charge for those not on full board the previous night). In the afternoon drive to the road head of the Naro Moru track, to the Meteorological Station, where we spend the night in comfortable log cabins. A good day for acclimatization, for we will be sleeping at an altitude of 10,000 ft. A short hike is taken in the afternoon to help acclimatization.
Day 2: Hike up into the Teleki Valley to our Mackinder’s Camp where there is a spectacular view of the main peaks. Walking time approximately 4-6 hours. Overnight Teleki Valley (14,000 ft).
Day 3: A pre-dawn start is made to ensure a successful summit bid and in time for a clear view of the majestic summit scenery. After climbing Pt. Lenana we return to our base camp and then proceed down the mountain to the lodge.
