Let’s go and experience the mountain differently, we seek to reach the summits but we alsocommit to being aware of every moment on the way... we call it connection with self and
nature, a beautiful journey up this snow-capped mountain of East Africa right at the Equator. Mt.
Kenya is one of the places every human should visit at least once in a lifetime. It offers a
wholesome experience of fun, connection and self-discovery; so come with us and create your
memories and live to tell your mountain story! Below is a brief description of the trail...
Day 1: Naromoru Gate – Met Station Camp
We depart from Nairobi at 7.00am and driver to Naromoru Park Gate for registration and
where the hike starts, 2600m. From the gate, we keep to the park track which follows the crest
of a board ridge between the Northern and Southern Naromoru valleys. The hike is easy and it’s
a pleasant walk through the forest. About two thirds of the way up after the bridge there are
good views to the left north down into the Northern Naromoru valley. The trek ends at Met
station 3,000m where we camp for the night. Dinner is served and we have a restful evening.
Day 2: Met Station Camp- Mackinders Camp
After an early morning breakfast, we head uphill on the track past the radio must. The trek runs
into a path and after another 30 minutes, we will reach the end of the forest belt and enter the
moorland. This is the vertical bog conditions ranging from damp to glutinous depending on
when it last rained. We continue through the moorlands until the trek improves and we reach a
fork overlooking Teleki Valley to reach Mackinders Camp, 4,200m. We camp overnight at
Mackinders and dinner is served.
Day 3: Mackinders Camp - Point Lenana Peak- Austrian Hut
We break camp at 2am towards the main peaks, after an hour above a flat marshy area at the
end of the valley known as temple fields, we start our push up to the 3rd highest point in Kenya,
arriving at point Lenana at 6:00am to witness, if we are lucky, the spectacle that is the sun
piercing planet earth, a mother of all sunrises.
We get back to base camp where we will have a proper breakfast and possibly explore the
surrounding camp. We will spend the night at Austrian Hut.
Day 4: Austrian Hut – Batian Peak – Mackinders Camp
After a light breakfast, we start our climb to Batian peak via Nelion. Once at the peaks we enjoy
the beauty as we take some photos after a rewarding push. We then head down to Austrian Hut
for a proper breakfast then head down to Mackinders Camp where we will rest for the evening.
Day 5: Mackinders Camp- Met Station to Nairobi
After breakfast, we start our way down to Met Station where we finish our hike. Along the trail,
just turn and look back to where you came from. We are expected at the Met Station at 10.30am
where we board our transfer vehicle to Nairobi.
Remember:
The climb is very dependent on the weather and we shall only leave Nairobi when we
have about 90% chance of good weather for the climb.
The final call on the safety of the climb is on the climbing guide. A guide may call off the
climb if the weather is not conducive.
