Four Day Foot Safari to Mt. Kenya

Designed for those who have a minimum amount of time and who want to reach the third highest peak Pt. Lenana. This challenging, non technical ascent can be made by any healthy person.

 Day 1 Morning spent sorting and organizing personal equipment for the trek. Lunch at the Lodge. (this is an extra charge.) In the afternoon, drive to the road head of the Naro Moru track, to the Met Station where we spend the night in the mountain log cabins, a good day for acclimatization for we will be sleeping at an altitude of 3,050m. A short hike is taken in the afternoon to gain and loose altitude.

 
Day 2 Hike up into the Teleki valley where there is a spectacular view of the main peaks. Walking time approximately 4-6 hours. Overnight at Mackinders Camp (4,100m).

 
Day 3A pre-dawn start is made to ensure a successful summit bid and in time for a clear view of the majestic summit scenery. After ascending Pt. Lenana we return to our base camp and then proceed down the mountain and back to the lodge.

This itinerary is similar to the “three day foot safari”, but has three distinct advantages:

1) An extra day could be used acclimatizing in the Teleki valley, walking through some of the beautiful country in the area. You would then ascend Pt. Lenana on the fourth day and then descend to the Lodge.

2) You can ascend Pt. Lenana and return to Mackinder’s camp on day three and then make a leisurely descent to the Lodge on the fourth day.

3) For  a fit climber subject to weather conditions, it is possible to circumnavigate the main peaks. This is can take a full day and it is worth your while.
