Tour Plan

Day 1 Pick up, drive to Aberdares, Hike La Satima

Meet for an early morning departure. We drive north from Nairobi and a few kilometers after Nyeri, branch off toward the mountains. The drive up the mountain is slow but scenic as the tropical rainforest gives way to the moorland vegetation. Ascend 12km in the mountain to reach an altitude of 3450m at the Twin peaks point. From here you can see the nearby Chebuswa peaks. The hike starts here with some of the most beautiful rock formations in Kenya. They include the Lost Pyramid, Muirs Massive, Weathering Heights, Devil’s Sword, Theater of Heaven, and finally the Dragons Teeth with stunning rock formations. After a short rest Bank east towards the high ridges and head towards Satima peak to arrive late in the afternoon.

We enjoy a quick picnic lunch, then start the descend to Shamata Gate where our car will be waiting and drive back to Nairobi.
