STSMT 03 - 5 Days Naro
Moru Route
Day 1
Transfer in the morning from your hotel to the Naro Moru River
Lodge, your base for the trek up Mount Kenya. The remainder of the
day will be at leisure and for preparation of your Mount Kenya
expedition.
Day 2
At midday, drive to the roadhead of the Naro Moru track from where
you will hike up to the Met Station approximately 2 kms distance. -
sleeping at an altitude of about 10,000 feet, zero degree latitude
Equator. The mountain above 9500 feet forms the Mount Kenya National
Park and is a World Heritage Site. Night at Met Station.
Day 3
The hike up into the Teleki Valley to the Mackinder's Camp. From the
Met Station the trek will be through a wide swath of deep bog, and
in the event of rain (which is likely), the going will be even
slower. The hike today will be 5 to 7 hours. Overnight at Teleki
Valley (13,900 ft).
Day 4
An early pre-dawn start is scheduled to ensure a summit bid in time
for the majestic summit scenery at dawn. Although not of a technical
nature, the hike to the third highest peak of Mount Kenya (Point
Lenana at 16,355 ft) is physically strenuous. The track involves
approximately a kilometer hike up the valley, crossing several small
rock outcrops and a swampy area before starting the scree ascent to
Point Lenana. Return to the base camp and proceed down the mountain
to the Lodge.
Day 5
After breakfast transfer back to Nairobi or continue on safari.
