Mount Kenya Day Trip Hike Chogoria Route: Our Mount Kenya day trip using the Chogoria Route approaches the mountain on the eastern side while the Naro Moru route is on the west side and the Sirimon route is on the north side of the mountain.

Out of the three popular routes for climbing mount Kenya mentioned above, Chogoria Route is, without doubt, the most scenic and rewarding for hikers interested in seeing beautiful landscapes and the exotic flora on Mount Kenya.

The Chogoria route contains luxurious vegetation and combined with the fact that the final eruption of Mount Kenya occurred on this side of the mountain makes it is one of the most scenic parts of the entire area. Our day hiking tour begins from Nairobi where you are driven to Chogoria town located in the Mwimbi Division of Tharaka Nithi County in Kenya.

The town is about 225 km away from Nairobi. After a restroom stop proceeds by road up to the Chogoria park entrance gate. The hiking begins from the gate to Mugi Hill, Lake Ellis, and the Gates (Road Head) to experience the magnificent sceneries on the Eastern side of the mountain.

After that, we descend to the park entrance for pick up and a transfer back to Nairobi.
