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.

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
