ITINERARY

Day one
NaIROBI i to Chogoria Camp (3,000m)

Trekking time: 4 hours. After an early breakfast, you will meet our driver Guide In Nairobi and be driven to chogoria to the start of the route. The first day's walk takes you up through the forest for about four hours to a clearing where you camp in a pocket of forest above the Kenya Wildlife Service entrance at Chogoria Bandas. If it is a clear afternoon you can generally get a good sense of the landscape from this point; where the Afro-alpine forest ends and the moorland begins. The afternoon is a good opportunity to walk around the area and acclimatize.

DAY TWO
Chogoria Camp (3,000m) to Lake Ellis (3,460m)

Hiking time: 3 hours

Distance: About 12 km

Habitat: Montane forest

The walk starts with spectacular views of the rolling hills ahead and perhaps even a glimpse of the snow- capped peaks of Batian (5,199m) and Nelion (5,188m) high above.

This is a relatively short hike and you will arrive in camp a little earlier than the previous day, which gives you a great chance to sit back and relax after lunch and simply enjoy the views around Lake Ellis. We go by the general rule of thumb to "climb high and sleep low" to allow for better acclimatization. An evening walk up to nearby Mugi Hill can be a wonderful way to end the day and will hopefully make your ascent a lot easier as wellYou can even try your hand at a spot of fly-fishing in the Lake.

DAY THREE
Lake Ellis (3460m) to mintos lake (4000m)

Hiking time: 5 hours

Distance: About 15 km

Habitat: Moorland
This day is a beautiful walk which takes you up along the ridge overlooking the Gorges valley and later on in the day Lake Michelson comes into view. We will break for lunch overlooking the Lake with a spectacular view, and then continue on a gentle traverse and descend to Lake Michaelson camp site. You can rest in the afternoon or go for a wander around the Lake mintos and do some photography with the view of lake Michalson

Predawn attempt of the summit starts at 03:00 am. We hike for about three hours up to Point Lenana (4985m), the hiker’s summit, arriving there in time to watch the African sunrise.
