Trip Itinerary.
5 Days Trekking Mount Kenya Up Chogoria out Chogoria Route.
Day 1 Nairobi – Chogoria Start Trek Mount Kenya.
Pick up from the hotel at about 0800. It's then about 3 1/2 hours from Nairobi to where we collect the porters and guides (as required). Into the Mt. Kenya forest for the 22 km drives to the Park Gate at 2,850m. Dependent on road conditions, these 22 km have been known to take all afternoon to do and in really wet conditions it is possible that the top four or five km may be impassable. Night, dependent on clients wishes, at the Meru Mt. Kenya Banda's or at road head a further 7 km from the Park Gate.
Main destination: Mount Kenya National Park, Chogoria.

Day 2 Hike to Roadhead.
After breakfast and sorting of porter loads, we set off up the mountain at a nice and easy pace. A slightly longer walk via Lake Ellis gives scenic views of Mugi, Ithunguni, and the Giants Billiards Table, whilst if we follow the river near road head, upstream for about 3 km, the foreground scenery and flora is particularly beautiful. Lunch by the stream banks then it's time to cut up the left-hand hillside to our camp at about 3,600m, well away from any of the more "touristy" areas.
Main destination: Roadhead
Accommodation: Camping
Meals & drinks: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3: Hike to Mintos.
Lake Michaelson From our campsite, we continue to move up through the moorland zone. As this area of the mountain is still off the beaten track, there are no paths to follow, and on each trip, we vary the area we walk across. After about an hour, traverse left and join a ridge (slight path to follow) and join the normal Chogoria route to Minto's Hut after about 4-hour walking. Lunch at a small stream crossing then 45 min on to a camp near Minto's Hut and next to one of the trans. Very short afternoon walk over to superb views across to "The Temple" and down to Lake Michaelson.
