    Met Station Lodge Mount Kenya Climbing Accommodation at 3,050 meters (10,007 feet) offer several bunkhouses/ Bandas as well as a campsite. To get to the Met Station from the Naro Moru Gate, you hike from 2500 meters to 3050 meters. The distance is about 10 km and it takes about 5 hours.

    This trail leads through the forest along a ridge between the two branches of the Naro Moru River. About 6 to 7 km from the park gate, the trail crosses percival's Bridge, then continues north then eats again, as it gains the lower Teleki Valley.

    The trail soon reaches the Meteorological Station ("Met Station") at 3050 meters. Here you find the Met Station Lodge which accommodates about 30 guests.

    The lodge has several latrines and water is readily available from the taps near each banda. This is where most trekkers spend their first night. Book Naro Moru River Lodge’s Met Station before climbing Mt. Kenya.

    This is intended to ensure that you have a place to sleep as you climb up the mountain and to avoid the accommodation environment becoming excessively polluted during the holiday.

    7 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Timau Trek Route   7 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Timau Trek Route

    7 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Timau Trek Route; The Timau Track, the main access route on the north side on the mountain lies in a major rain shadow.

    Because of this there is a very little forest on this side of the mountain. However since you are inside a low rainfall zone it generally makes for a drier safari and a more pleasant trek.

    The slope is gentle and because the peaks on Mt. Kenya line up east to west the views from the north give you the impression you are trekking into a whole mountain range.

    This rarely trodden route starts from the northwestern part of Mt Kenya. The climate and vegetation is savannah type and as you hike you will invariably see herds of zebra, eland and gazelles on the lower part of the mountain.

    Mount Kenya is Africa's second highest mountain standing at 5,199m, poised magnificently on the equator.

    Her spectacular snow-capped peaks create a stunning backdrop all year- round, and are crowned to be the only snow- blessed point on the equator.

    Africa's most stunning mountain treasures sweeping valleys infused with jeweled streams and lucent- colored birds who will befriend you on sight.

    Mount Kenya's prestigious peaks are prized as the top rock climbing cliffs in East Africa, promising you soaring views from directly over top the equator.

    Climbing Mount Kenya

    Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Route 5 Days/ 4 Nights   Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Route 5 Days/ 4 Nights

    Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Route 5 Days/ 4 Nights; Here we climb the second highest mountain in Africa by its most scenic route.

    Mt Kenya, Chogoria Route is 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 speak fluent English including other foreign languages.

    Mt Kenya is the ultimate hiking and climbing destination in Kenya. It is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa at 5199m above sea level.

    Out of the three popular routes for climbing Mt Kenya, the Chogoria Route is without question the most scenic and rewarding for hikers interested in sightseeing as well as summiting.

    The Chogoria route is on the east side of the mountain while Naro Moru and Sirimon routes are on the west and north sides of the mountain respectively.

    This itinerary is for the ascent of Point Lenana, the third peak of Mt Kenya, at an altitude of 4985 meters. 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.

     Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Route 5 Days/ 4 Nights Itinerary

    Day 1: Nairobi to Chogoria Park Gate (2950 meters)
    0800 Hours: Pick up from hotel after breakfast and drive to Chogoria Park Gate. The drive takes about 4 hours from Nairobi to     Chogoria town where we meet our porters and guides.

    From here we drive to the Mt. Kenya forest to Chogoria Park Gate located 22 kilometers. This journey is 29 kilometers long and goes over a motor-able dirt road that passes through fertile farmlands before getting into a tropical forest, followed by a bamboo zone.

    We spend the first night at the Kenya Wildlife Service campsite at the Park Gate, or at Meru Mt. Kenya Lodge 7 kilometers from the Park Gate.

    Day 2: Chogoria Park Gate to Camp (3,600 meters)
    After breakfast and sorting of porter loads we set off up the mountain at a nice and easy pace. Camping next to the Nithi River at this place helps with acclimatization. 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. If you climb to the top of Mugi Hill, you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the neighboring flat-topped Giant’s Billiard table.

    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: Campsite to Minto’s hut (4297 Meters)
    The third day is spent hiking for about 4 to 6 Hours to Mintos Hut. Along the way, you get magnificent views of Lake Ellis to the right, the Gorges Valley to the left, and the 1500 feet (457meters) Vivienne waterfalls.

    Vivienne waterfalls appear at position 117 on the list of the World’s tallest Waterfalls. Even more striking is the view of Lake Michaelson at the top of this waterfall, and the view of the peaks on a clear day.

    Once you get to Minto’s hut, you have the option of using the hut or camping on the shores of the adjacent Hall Tarns. A short 5 minute walk to the side of these Tarns is a sheer cliff drop called the Temple, with a stunning view of Lake Michaelson directly below.

    Day 4: Mintos Hut to Summit to Meru Mount Kenya Lodge (Bandas)
    After pre dawn breakfast leave Mintos Hut for the summit passing near the Simba Tarn and Harris Tan to Point Lenana which is approximately 4 to 5 hours.

    The forth day is when most people summit. The day starts at 0330 Hours with the aim of getting to Pt Lenana at Sunrise. The terrain is a bit wet in the first 2 kilometers, followed by a series of steep gravelly climbs.

    The first slope levels off at Simba Tarn, to be followed by another steep incline that meets the trail from Shiptons near Square Tarn. The trail then weaves its way above this Tarn till Point Lenana, taking 3 Hours or more from Mintos Hut.

    After the sunrise at 0630 Hours and nice views of Kilimanjaro and the Coastline, we descend back to Mintos for full breakfast and thereafter descend to Meru Mount Kenya Lodge (Bandas) having our lunch at the Road head. Dinner and overnight at the Bandas.

    Day 5: Meru Mount Kenya Lodge (Bandas) to Nairobi
    After breakfast you’ll retrace your steps for 15 kilometers downhill through the dense 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.

    5 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Sirimon Routes 5 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Sirimon Routes

    5 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Sirimon Routes; The Chogoria route is our recommended and arguably the most magnificent ascent route to the summit area.

    It is the driest route up the mountain and the walk beside the Gorges Valley truly spectacular.

    The descent by the Sirimon route takes one through some beautiful forest tracks and completes the traverse of the mountain.

    Accommodation on this hike is 2 nights in mountain huts and 2 nights camping.  Nonetheless, if you prefer to camp you can do so on all nights on the mountain.

     5 Days Climbing Mount Kenya Chogoria Sirimon Routes

    Day 1: Nairobi to Mt. Kenya Banda’s (2,900 Meters) (3 Hours), 10 Kilometers walk, 950 meters ascent.
    0800 Hours: Depart from Nairobi after breakfast and drive through agricultural country up to Chogoria town for lunch.  After lunch, we take 4×4 and drive up to the edge of the bamboo forest.

    We begin our trekking through the dense bamboo forest for a distance of 10 kilometers to the Mount Kenya Banda’s.

    Dinner and overnight at the Meru Mount Kenya Banda’s.

    Day 2: Mount Kenya Banda’s – Lake Ellis Campsite (3,600 Meters) (3 Hours), 9 Kilometers, 700 meters ascent.
    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, Ithanguni and the Giants Billiards Table.

    We follow the river near road head, upstream for about 3 Kilometers, the foreground scenery and flora is particularly beautiful.

    Lunch on the banks of a stream, and 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.

    Dinner and overnight at Lake Ellis Campsite

    Day 3: Lake Ellis – Minto`s Camp. (4,200 Meters) (4 Hours), 12 Kilometers, 600 Meters ascent
    similar early start.  Again well off the beaten track to follow a ridge up the mountain for about 3 hours to eventually join the tourist track on the normal Chogoria route at an altitude of about 4,100 Meters.

    Breathe taking views over the Gorges Valley and back over towards Ithanguni and the Northern Moorlands. Lunch is served at a small stream crossing, before continuing for a further hour to the Mintos Hut area at 4200m and our night’s rest.

    Afternoon is spent relaxing at camp, though a 10 minute walk to the “Temple” is well worth the effort. This is a 150 meters vertical cliff that gets its name from the position visitors often adopt when peering over the edge – they look as if they are praying.

    An early night is recommended as you are attempting the summit next day.

    Dinner and overnight at Minto`s Camp

    Day 4: Minto`s – Point Lenana (4,985 Meters) to Old Moses camp. (11 to 12 Hours), 785 Ascent, 1,685 Descent, 24 Kilometers
    Predawn attempt of the summit starts at 0300 Hours and you hike for about three hours up to Point Lenana (4985 Meters), the hiker’s summit, arriving there in time to watch the African sunrise. Descend to Shipton camp for breakfast.

    After breakfast, begin a 5 hour descent via Mackinder`s valley to the Old Moses camp (3,300 Meters). The descent is gentle and it offers ample time to enjoy fascinating scenery which includes the moorlands before reaching the camp.

    Dinner and overnight at Old Moses camp

    Day 5: Old Moses camp to Nairobi (3 Hours)
    After early morning breakfast, descend for 3 hours to the Sirimon Park  gate to catch a vehicle for transfer  to Nairobi arriving late afternoon.
