WHY
CLIMB MT KENYA?
The second highest Mountain in Africa where you touch
ice and snow on the equator offering you splendid high
elevation scenery with perfect backdrop for great herds
of plains game bringing you Africa at its most primal
and pure nature of this sacred mountain that straddles
through the equator but above all the challenge to fulfill
a commitment
.
Mount
Kenya Climb
Mt. Kenya is a dome-shaped
central volcano. It is the largest mountain in Kenya.
Ten glaciers cover the volcanos peaks. The original
crater on Mt. Kenya was over 20,000 ft (6100 m) high
but has been heavily eroded. Most of this erosion occurred
during two periods when glaciers carved much of the
top of the volcano. These periods wore down the ring-like
plug forming the top of Mt Kenya. In fact, almost 35%
of the volcano has been worn away.
Climbing Mt Kenya is a spectacular walk up the beautiful
Sirimon valley away from the main tourist route on Mount
Kenya. The trek passes through a diverse range of vegetation
and climate zones, from dense forest to tropical cactus
plants to snow covered peaks within a relatively short
distance. No technical climbing is necessary to reach
Point Lenana, the "walking summit" at 16,400
ft. Descending to the base we will relax in a lodge
before returning to Nairobi.

ROUTE OUT CHOGORIA GATE "EASY PACE"
Mount
Kenya Climb-Chogoria Out Chogoria
This route Chogoria'
has long been considered the most picturesque, dramatic,
and varying route,its the most beautiful of the access
routes to Point Lenana and the best for acclimatization
as the gradient is the easiest. You are more likely
to be the only climbers on this side of the mountain
ensuring a unique wilderness experience. Our guides
are specialists on Mount Kenya, thoroughly knowledgeable
in the flora,fauna and a foreign language
Climbing
Mount Kenya Chogoria out Chogoria
This
itinerary is for the ascent of Pt Lenana, the third
peak of Mt Kenya, at an altitude of 4985 metres. This
is not a technical climb, but a hike. Anyone with a
reasonable level of fitness should be more than capable
of completing the trek provided they approach it in
a sensible manner. The ascent is via the Chogoria Route,
on the little used east side of the mountain.
Day
1
Pick up from hotel at about 0800. It's then about 3
1/2 hours from Nairobi to where we collect the porters
and guides (as required). Into the Mt. Kenya forest
for the 22 km drive to the Park Gate at 2,850m. Dependent
on road conditions, these 22 km have been known to take
all afternoon to do and in really wet conditions it
is possible that the top four or five km may be impassable.
Night, dependent on clients wishes, at the Meru Mt.
Kenya Banda's or at roadhead a further 7 km from the
Park Gate.
Day 2
After breakfast and sorting of porter loads we set off
up the mountain at a nice and easy pace . A slightly
longer walk via Lake Ellis gives scenic views of Mugi,
Ithunguni and the Giants BilliardsTable, whilst if we
follow the river near roadhead, upstream for about 3
km, the foreground scenery and flora is particularly
beautiful. Lunch by the stream banks then it's time
to cut up the left hand hillside to our camp at about
3,600m, well away from any of the more "touristy"
areas.
Day 3
From our campsite, we continue to move up through the
moorland zone. As this area of the mountain is still
off the beaten track, there are no paths to follow,
and on each trip we vary the area we walk across. After
about an hour, traverse left and join a ridge (slight
path to follow) and join the normal Chogoria route to
Minto's Hut after about 4 hour walking. Lunch at a small
stream crossing then 45 min on to a camp near Minto's
Hut and next to one of the tarns. Very short afternoon
walk over to superb views across to "The Temple"
and down to Lake Michaelson.
Day
4:
After pre dawn breakfast leave Mintos Hut for the summit
passing near the Simba Tarn and Harris Tan to Point
Lenana which is appproximately 4 - 5 hours. After the
sunrise at 6.30 and nice views of Kilimanjaro and the
Coast line descend back to Mintos for full breakfast
and thereafter descend to Meru Mount Kenya Lodge(Bandas)
having our lunch at the Roadhead. Dinner and overnight
at the Bandas.
Day
5: After breakfast walk for 15km downhill through
the denses rain and bamboo forests to connect the 4WD
jeep to Chogoria Town. Then after lunch at chogoria
drive back to Nairobi for your next destination.
