This route is more picturesque than Naromoru and is located on the mountain’s drier side, providing some of the best hiking experiences. The climb ascends through a forest and onto a broad ridge leading to the summit area. The journey begins on the mountain’s northwest side, near Nanyuki. Access is convenient, and the bunkhouse facilities are the finest on this side of the mountain. Although reaching Mount Kenya’s summit is possible in 4 days following the itinerary below, it is highly recommended to spend an extra night acclimatizing at the base in Nanyuki town. This can be arranged for an additional fee.
