Traverse of Mount Kenya

It’s worth allowing a week for this trip with a ‘before’ and ‘after’ stay at a local hotel in Nanyuki and four nights on the mountain.

On your first night, you stay at the Chogoria Bandas, just outside the National Park.

Then on your second night, you camp beside Lake Ellis and on your third, beside Lake Michaelson.

Early on your fourth day, you climb up to Point Lenana and then after spending a short time at the summit, you descend to your final camp in the Mackinder’s valley.

On your fifth day, you descend to Old Moses Camp and transfer back to your hotel in Nanyuki.
