Mount
Kenya Climb One Day Trek
is designed for guests who have limited time and who
are not interested in reaching any of the summits. This
safari is tailored to those who are interested in seeing
the fascinating vegetation zones of an equatorial mountain
and the associated rich animal and bird life.
There
are three main routes for approaching Mount Kenya: the
Naro Moru Route, the Sirimon
Route and the Chogoria Route.
Mount Kenya one-day trips are for visitors who would
be spending a night in lodges, hotels and hostels in
the Mount Kenya region and the trip offers a drive to
the park entrance and several walks to Met Station at
3000 meters.
The
hike starts from the Park entrance gate through the
Gallery forest up to Old Moses Camp at an altitude of
3000 meters. This is a favorite spot for ornithologists
and offers an opportunity to see the Grevy Zebras in
the forest. These walks offer good opportunities for
bird watching and for enjoying the different plant life.
Alternatively
there is the Moorland one day-trip which also offers
a drive up to Old Moses Camp from which one can hike
to the Moorland. Here magnificent alpine plants can
be enjoyed.
Drive
to Old Moses Camp where the hike starts through the
barrow towards Liki North Valley. Here the Moorland
offers a gentle climb through fascinating vegetation
with a chance of seeing the peaks.
