5 Days mount kenya trek naro moru
Overview
Mount Kenya is a spectacular mountain with a series of peaks, valleys, ridges and tarns. In this complete West to East traverse we see the mountain from many angles and take in the routes best known for their abundance of wildlife and epic mountain scenery. The Naro Moru ascent and Chogoria descent is our most popular option for these reasons. The itinerary is based on starting the journey from Naro Moru town and finishing in Embu town but all our Mount Kenya climbs have lots of optional extras if needed, including private transport from Nairobi, accommodation arranged in Nairobi, Naro Moru or Embu, extra nights on the mountain, tailor made safari's or visits to our Moving Mountains projects on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya or even the opportunity to sponsor a Moving Mountains Kenya beneficiary to join you on the climb.
