Day
1
Transfer in the morning from your hotel to the
Naro Moru River Lodge, your base for the trek
up Mount Kenya. The remainder of the day will
be at leisure and for preparation of your Mount
Kenya expedition.
Day 2
At midday, drive to the roadhead of the Naro Moru
track from where you will hike up to the Met Station
approximately 2 kms distance. - sleeping at an
altitude of about 10,000 feet, zero degree latitude
Equator. The mountain above 9500 feet forms the
Mount Kenya National Park and is a World Heritage
Site. Night at Met Station.
Day 3
The hike up into the Teleki Valley to the
Mackinder's Camp. From the Met Station the trek
will be through a wide swath of deep bog, and
in the event of rain (which is likely), the going
will be even slower. The hike today will be 5
to 7 hours. Overnight at Teleki Valley (13,900
ft).
Day 4
An early pre-dawn start is scheduled to ensure
a summit bid in time for the majestic summit scenery
at dawn. Although not of a technical nature, the
hike to the third highest peak of Mount Kenya
(Point Lenana at 16,355 ft) is physically strenuous.
The track involves approximately a kilometer hike
up the valley, crossing several small rock outcrops
and a swampy area before starting the scree ascent
to Point Lenana. Return to the base camp and proceed
down the mountain to the Lodge.
Day 5
After breakfast transfer back to Nairobi or continue
on safari.
