Climbing Boating Day Tour: One day Mt Longonot hiking Kenya adventure

Walks are through a National Park containing herds of Zebras, Kongoni, Giraffe and warthogs. The variety of bird life should not be missed. The full day hikes are past towering vulture – inhabited cliffs, down a dry riverbed to the boiling sulphurous springs, hike up Mt. Longonot to the crater arriving in Nairobi by late afternoon.

Mt Longonot is just less than 9100 feet above sea level with a tree filled interior and a lonesome steam vent to the northeast. A climb up Mount Longonot is an ideal day trip from either Nairobi or Naivasha. Best time to visit / travel is the months of January to April and from September to December.

Mt Longonot hiking kenya adventure departs daily from Nairobi after breakfast and the drive takes approximately an hour. You start the assent at 6000 feet. Like all good uphill hikes it will lull you in to a sense of false security with a slow gentle rise to the first peak.

This gives you a chance to get your lungs and limbs freed up for the second section, which is the most awesome. At the end of each section there is a rest point where you can prepare yourself for the next part of your journey.

You will have started early to avoid the heat of the Sun but by the time you reach the end of the second section you would have generated your own heat. This hike is not an easy hike but is achievable by people of average fitness. An indication of the fitness required is that most school of the age 14 and 15 take this climb while attending school in Nairobi.

Once you have finished the second section there is another rest bite of slightly less demanding terrain, before making the final climb on the fourth section. This again is a demanding section, though not as demanding as the second section.

As you heave yourself over the rim of the crater your reward is the awesome sight of Naivasha and the Great Rift Valley and you know that it was all worthwhile. Before making this climb you will need to acclimatize at 6000 feet. A ranger accompanies you on the hike.

He will act as a guide. As there are wild animals in the area he is armed. The whole tour is only about 8–9 km long but very steep, so that the round trip of park gate – Longonot Peak – park gate takes around 5 hours hiking. The gate is around 2150 metres and the peak at 2780 metres but following the jagged rim involves substantially more than the 630 metres vertical difference.

The safari hiking kenya adventure will finalize with a boat ride at Lake Naivasha which gives a relaxing feeling.

Name: 6 days Mt Kenya Climbing Via Sirimon – Naromoru Route
Duration: 6 Days
Start: Nairobi at 7 AM
End: Nairobi at 4 PM

This is most popular of all the routes that lead up to the Mountain. It is the steepest and the fastest way up Mt Kenya and ascends the mountain from the west. The route is not particularly scenic but has some of the best tourist accommodations. Most climbers begin at the park gate, although it is possible to drive a vehicle as far as the Met station (3050 metres). Among the challenges in this route include the vertical bog and the extremely steep trail on looses gravel while going up.

5 days Best Mt Kenya climbing Via SIRIMON / CHOGORIA Overview:

Duration: 5 Days
Start: Nairobi at 7 AM
End: Nairobi at 4 PM

5 Days Mt Kenya climb via Chogoria route is highly recommended and arguably the most magnificent ascent route to climb Mount Kenya to its summit.

This creative climb joins two of the most famous routes up Mt. Kenya, Sirimon and Chogoria, producing a remarkably diverse and spectacular trek. Sirimon coming off the west passes through the dry side of the mountain with its giant trees and rocky terrain, and the descent onto the Chogoria path is exactly different with its lush bamboo and highland forests.

The final night time ascent of Lenana can be as difficult as any ascent in East Africa. But the descent is the easiest compared to Ruwenzori and Kilimanjaro. This is the most likely climb for you to actually see the big game.

It is the driest route up the mountain and the walk beside the Gorges Valley truly spectacular. The descent by the Sirimon route takes one through some beautiful forest tracks and completes the traverse of the mountain.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain standing at 5,199m, poised magnificently on the equator. Her spectacular snow- capped peaks create a stunning backdrop all year- round, and are crowned to be the only snow- blessed point on the equator.

Africa’s most stunning mountain treasures sweeping valleys infused with jeweled streams and lucent- colored birds who will befriend you on sight. Mount Kenya’s prestigious peaks are prized as the top rock climbing cliffs in East Africa. This tour includes participation camping. This means that guests will have to assist with camp chores, such as setting up your tent. See the day-by-day section for a more detailed description of the camp chores.

Mt Kenya Climbing 4 days 3 nights Via Sirimon Route Overview:

Name: Mt Kenya Climbing Via Sirimon Route
Duration: 4 Days
Start: Nairobi at 7 AM
End: Nairobi at 4 PM

Much more scenic than Naromoru and it is on the drier side of the mountain which offers some of the finest walking. Climb up through forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is adequate and the bunk house facilities are the best on this side of the mountain.

Though Mount Kenya summit can be reached in 4 days as per the below itinerary, we strongly recommend an overnight acclimatization at the base in Nanyuki town. This can be arranged for at an extra fee.

The final night time ascent of Lenana can be as difficult as any ascent in East Africa. But the descent is the easiest compared to Ruwenzori and Kilimanjaro. This is the most likely climb for you to actually see the big game.

Transport to the mountain base is included from your Nairobi city hotel.

The bulk of the snow capped Mt. Kenya looms over the entire region of the central Kenya.

For hikers, point Lenana at 4,895 m is the ultimate destination.

This is accessed from different routes depending on availability of time, budget restrains and climbing experience. The views en-route, the physical exertion and the rough climbing experience combine to bring out a well-deserved sense of accomplishment to the climbers.
