What a blast! My trip to Africa was the best
adventure I've had. We saw almost every animal I wanted to, and had
a few narrow escapes. Just when we thought we had got away from the
charging elephant, we stopped in front of four pairs of mating
lions. The planning and execution of our trip was perfect-I couldn't
be happier. Paul Majewski Denver, Colorado
Of
the three Mt Kenya routes this is one of the
most scenic but also the longest to point
Lenana. You will enjoy the beauty of alpine
vegetation the whole way. It is also the
driest of the three main routes and once
your reach Mackinders Valley it becomes much
easier.
Day 1
An early departure from Nairobi with a lunch
stop enroute to the National Park Gates on
the Sirimoni Trail. Then a 3-4 hour steady
ascent to Judmaier Camp (3,350m)
Day 2
A 5-6 hour walk up Mackinder's Valley to
Shipton's Caves (4,150m). It is a dramatic
landscape with giant lobelias all around and
the towering peaks ahead.
Day 3
Acclimatization day. Optional trek to Kami
Hut (4,425m) and Hausberg Col (4,591m)
Day 4
A very early start-up the North Ridge to
reach point Lenana (4,985m). Descend to
Teleki Valley on the opposite side of the
main peaks to Mackinder's Camp for a good
night's rest.
Day 5
Descend to Met Station (road head) on the
Naro Moru Track and transfer by vehicle to
Naro Moru River Lodge for the Night.
