Strolling in the eastern
foothills of Mount Kenya

You can spend a few nights based at the Chogoria Bandas experiencing the landscapes of the mountain without traversing via Point Lenana.

On your first day, you can hike to the Nithi Falls and then walk down to the bottom of the falls and cool your feet in the glacial water.

Another option is to fly camp overnight at Lake Ellis and make a dawn ascent of the mini peak of Mugi Hill which takes just an hour.

As the sun rises, the high peaks in the distance slowly take on a deep shade of terracotta.
