5-Day Mount Kenya Adventure via Naromoru Route

5-Day Mount Kenya Adventure via Naromoru Route

Your Mount Kenya adventure begins with a warm welcome in Nairobi. After a scenic transfer to Naromoru town, check in at your lodge and enjoy a hearty lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a guided nature walk to acclimatize and stretch your legs in the cool mountain air. You’ll also go through a detailed gear check and trip briefing to ensure you’re fully prepared for the Naromoru route climb ahead. Overnight at a cozy mountain lodge or the Naro Moru River Lodge.

After breakfast, you’ll transfer to the Naromoru Park Gate for registration. Begin your hike with your guide, porter, and cook as you ascend gently through the dense rainforest of Mount Kenya. This part of the Naromoru route offers the chance to spot wildlife and unique flora. After 9 kilometers of hiking, you’ll reach Met Station in time for dinner and a night of rest.

Fuel up with breakfast before continuing your journey up the Naromoru route. Today’s trek leads you through the infamous vertical bog, a moorland section that tests your endurance and rewards you with expansive views. As you approach Teleki Valley, the scenery opens up dramatically. Arrive at Mackinders Camp nestled below the peaks, where you’ll enjoy dinner and rest ahead of summit day.

Your summit bid starts before dawn. Depart Mackinders Camp around 2:00 AM for the final climb to Point Lenana via the Naromoru route. This exhilarating stretch takes 3–4 hours and delivers an unforgettable sunrise over the Kenyan highlands. After taking photos and soaking in the views, descend to Mackinders Camp for breakfast, then continue downhill to Met Station for dinner and your last overnight on the mountain.

After a final breakfast in the highlands, descend 9 kilometers through lush rainforest to the Naromoru gate. Once you exit the park, a comfortable transfer will return you to Nairobi, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or airport—carrying memories of a successful Mount Kenya ascent via the renowned Naromoru route.
