4 Days Mount Kenya Climbing
NaroMoru Route
Distance: 40 km | Difficulty: Demanding |
Start/Finish: Nairobi
Summary
The most popular route although not the most
scenic. It is also the fastest route to
point Lenana. Take this classic route up
Mount Kenya though the notoriously
treacherous vertical bog and into the wide
Teleki Valley beneath the Tryndall, The
Lewis Glacier.
Though the summit can be reached in 4 days
as per the below itinerary, we strongly
recommend an overnight acclimatization at
the base, Naromoru River Lodge. This can be
arranged for at an extra fee.
Day 1: Nairobi/Meteorological Station 3-4
hrs, 10km, 400m ascent
Transfer to Naromoru Park Gate for
registration and where the hike starts,
2600m From the gate, keep to the park track,
which follows the crest of a board ridge
between the Northern and Southern Naromoru
valleys. The going is easy and its a
pleasant walking through the forest. About
two thirds of the way up after the bridge
there are good views to the left north down
into the Northern Naromoru valley. The trek
ends at Met station 3,000m where dinner and
overnight rest will be, B, L, D
Day 2: Met Station/Mackinders Camp 5-6 hrs,
10km, 1200m ascent
Head uphill on the track to pass the radio
must on your right after about half an hour.
The trek runs into a path and after another
30 minutes, you will reach the end of the
forest belt and enter the moorland. This is
the vertical bog conditions range from damp
to glutinous depending on when it last
rained. Continue through until the going
improves and you reach a fork overlooking
Teleki Valley to reach Mackinders Camp,
4,200m. Dinner and overnight at Mackinders
