Welcome to Naicef Mt Kenya 1 day hike, a fun full adventure tour to enjoy the best of the forest, nature, animals, and fresh air of Kenya.
We will start our journey in Nairobi at 5:00 a.m. for the Mt Kenya 1 day hike to ensure we reach the gate before sunrise. The journey from Nairobi along the Thika super highway will take approximately two and a half hours.
The distance between Nairobi and Mount Kenya National Park is approximately 138 kilometers.
There are three routes to access Mount Kenya National Park, the three gates include the Naro Moru Route, the Sirimon Route, and the Chogoria Route. For our Mt Kenya 1 day hike, we prefer Sirimon and Naro Moru gates due to their scenic hiking routes and access to the highway.
As soon as we arrive in Nyeri for the Naru Moru route or Nanyuki for the Sirimon route, we’ll directly head to the restaurants for some energy packing quality breakfast to take us through the hike. The breakfast features a wide selection of dishes served in Central Kenya.
This will be a buffet selection to ensure your preference is catered for enough for the exciting Mt Kenya 1 day hike. After breakfast, we will proceed to the gate for the fun adventure of scaling the best Mt Kenya hike.
At the gate, a small briefing will be done by our Naicef professional mountain guide & park management to give you a nice introduction to the mountain and set your energy for the day.
Soon after the briefing, we will begin the hike at the park entrance and ascend to over 3,000 feet through the Gallery Forest. This will give you the best fresh forest views, air, and experience with a spectacular view of natural beauty and wild animals.
For bird lovers and bird watchers, our Mt Kenya 1 day hike gives you the best mornings to have the sounds of the birds as you glimpse a wide allay of bird species. Some of the best bird species to see include spurfowls, turaco, mountain orioles, sunbirds, hornbills, seedeaters, and many more.
Mt Kenya is one of the best bird-watching spots in Kenya. Through our Mt Kenya 1 day hike we ensure bird watchers delight in these strolls, allowing them to take in the variety of wild hidden birds in the natural plantation.
Moreover, animal lovers through the Naicef Mt Kenya 1 day hike will not only see the best of wildlife but also have a rare chance to enjoy seeing the endangered mountain bongo, a unique gazelle only found in Mt Kenya.
Other wild animals to see include the bushbucks, colobus monkeys, duikers, hyraxes, buffalos, the rarely spotted leopards, and many more.
Our Mt Kenya 1 day hike trip to the Moorland includes a panoramic climb to Old Moses Camp a spectacular view of untouched vegetation can be seen along the hiking trail. Nothing beats this beautiful experience.
While at Old Moses, you will enjoy the best views of the peaks capturing the best photos of achievement. The view of the wider landscape below you gives you a breathtaking experience second to none.
At this point, we will refresh with the best energizing lunch and drinks before climbing down the mountain.
After our fantastic party moment at the Old Moses, we will climb down exploring the best unspotted animals and rich vegetation. Lots of facts are shared while climbing down with descriptions of the rare species along the route to ensure your experience is rounded.
After two hours of climbing down, we will check out and proceed back to Nairobi for drop off or a home-bound flight.
