the trek provided they approach it in a sensible manner.
The ascent is via the Chogoria Route, on the little used
east side of the mountain.

hours from Nairobi to where we collect the porters and
guides (as required). Into the Mt. Kenya forest for the
22 km drive to the Park Gate at 2,850m. Dependent on road
conditions, these 22 km have been known to take all afternoon

hillside to our camp at about 3,600m, well away from any
of the more "touristy" areas.

moorland zone. As this area of the mountain is still off

follow) and join the normal Chogoria route to Minto's
Hut after about 4 hour walking. Lunch at a small stream
