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.

CHOGORIA 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.
