You will be picked up early morning from your hotel in Nairobi at 8:00 am. You'll transfer to Mount Kenya National Park at Naro Moru Gate for registration and where the climb starts, at 2600m. From the gate, you will keep to the park track, which follows the crest of a board ridge between the Northern and Southern Naro Moru valleys. The trek will be easy and pleasant as you walk through the forest. About two-thirds of the way up after the bridge, there are good views to the left north down into the Northern Naro Moru Valley. The trek ends at Met Station 3,000m where you will have your dinner and an overnight rest.

Met Station/Mackinders Camp 5-6 hrs, 10km, 1200m Ascent
You will take an early morning breakfast. Afterwards, you'll head uphill on the track to pass the radio must on your right after about half an hour. The trek runs into a path and after another 30 minutes, you will reach the end of the forest belt and enter the moorland. This is because the vertical bog conditions range from damp to glutinous depending on when it last rained. You'll continue through until the going improves and you reach a fork overlooking Teleki Valley to reach Mackinders Camp, 4,200m. You will have dinner and an overnight stay at Mackinders Camp.
