MOUNTAIN CLIMBING EXPEDITIONS
6 DAYS MOUNT KENYA NAROMORU TREK

Safari Overview

The most popular route although not the most scenic. It is also the fastest route to point Lenana. Take this classic route up Mount Kenya though the notoriously treacherous vertical bog and into the wide Teleki Valley beneath the Tryndall, The Lewis Glacier. Though the summit can be reached in 5 days, we strongly recommend 6days for extra acclimatization at the base, Naromoru River Lodge. This can be arranged for at an extra fee.
