Conquer Mount Kenya the classic way!
Take the fastest and most popular route to Point Lenana via the legendary Naromoru Trail. Power through the iconic vertical bog, trek across the vast Teleki Valley, and walk beneath the majestic Lewis Glacier on an unforgettable 4-day adventure.

Begin your journey from Nairobi, ascending through lush rainforest to the Met Station. Push higher into moorland landscapes toward Mackinders Camp at 4,200m, where dramatic alpine views await. Summit Point Lenana at sunrise, a breathtaking reward after an exhilarating early-morning ascent, then descend through pristine wilderness back to Naromoru.

For the best experience, enhance your acclimatization with an optional overnight stay at Naromoru River Lodge.

Fast, scenic, and truly iconic, this is Mount Kenya at its finest.
