Overview
Get to enjoy a hike while meeting friendly animals along the way if you are lucky.
Mount Kenya actually has three peaks: Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana. Depending on which one you choose to climb, the ascent can range from a medium-difficult trek to a challenging rock climb. Batian, Mt Kenya’s highest peak, sits at 5,199 meters and is a challenging ascent with many technical points.
Note: You can leave your luggage in the vehicle if you do not need them

Tips
What to expect
Day 1: Nairobi to Mt Kenya
Mount Kenya National Park
5h
0800 Hours: Pick up from your hotel in Nairobi after breakfast and drive north with enroute lunch to Chogoria
Chogoria Route is by far the most spectacular and beautiful route on Mount Kenya. Out of the three popular routes for climbing Mount Kenya, the Chogoria Route is without question the most scenic and rewarding for hikers interested in sightseeing as well as summiting in addition, we also get the opportunity to soak up the sights and sounds of the forest and to get ‘in-tune’ with your surroundings. We will probably walk around before we arrive at the Mount Kenya Bandas camp where we spend the night.
This is a good spot to see wildlife in the evening including monkeys, buffalo, and even elephants.
Meal Plan: {Lunch & Dinner}
Day 2: Mount Kenya Bandas to Hike up 2 to 3 Hours to Drive to Chogoria Town – Nairobi
Chogoria
3h
After breakfast hike 7 kilometers further up to the Road head at 3300 meters. Since it only takes 2 hours to get here, that leaves you with plenty of time to explore the surroundings.
One of the attractions here is the Nithi waterfalls, approximately 100 feet high, accessible by crossing the river and following the trail to the left for about 300 meters. Other attractions are Lake Ellis at 3500 meters and about 3 kilometers to the right of the road head, and Mugi Hill next to the Lake.
And with the view of Mugi Hill, you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the neighboring flat-topped Giant’s Billiard table. From this point, you’ll retrace your steps. We will walk back along the vehicle track to the Bandas and sign out of the National Park.
We will then load up your luggage for the drive back down through the forest to Chogoria and on to Nairobi.
