Kimunye
2024-02-03 06:00 - 17:00 | Kutus
Set within a buffer zone created by lush tea plantations and man-made forests, the Kimunye trail is a photographer’s dream come true, with its stunning views and shaded paths. Halfway through the trail is a thunderous waterfall with crispy clear waters from Mt Kirinyaga. For the brave drifters, one can take a dip in the icy waters, the trail is mostly gentle, with short steep sections while accessing the waterfalls.

Sleeping Warrior & Ugali Hills
2024-02-05 05:30 - 17:00
Named Sleeping Warrior for its resemblance to a man lying on his back, hence the name, the hike starts with a trek along the shores of Lake Elementaita. A walk around the shore suddenly brings to view the amazing hill to your eyes. The climb takes us through Sleeping Warrior – a sharp ascent to the nose (the peak), which provides a beautiful view of the lake and the caldera before descending towards the Eastern side to attempt the second.

Wanene's Memorial Hike
2024-03-16 07:00 - 14:30 | Lari
Family, friends, fellow adventurers, and lovers of the great outdoors, we come together with heavy hearts to honor the memory of our dear friend and hiking companion, Wanene. Nesh was the embodiment of joy on the trails. Her infectious smile, boundless energy, and zest for life inspired us all to cherish every moment amidst nature’s embrace.
It is only fitting that we pay tribute to Nesh by gathering for a memorial hike, retracing the very paths that brought her such profound happiness. On 16th march, we will embark on a journey to gatamaiyu 3 trail, a place that represents her love for water bodies & wild swimming.
As we traverse the winding trails, let us revel in the memories of her contagious laughter echoing through the valleys, the sparkle in her eyes as she took in each breathtaking vista, and the unwavering camaraderie that binds us together as a hiking family.
This memorial hike is not a solemn procession but a celebration of NESH’s vibrant spirit, her unwavering love for adventure, and we embrace the beauty of nature that she cherished so deeply, and let our footsteps be a testament to the indelible mark she has left on our lives

TIPS

The items marked with an asterisk (*) in the list above are absolutely necessary for a safe expedition in the mountain. They are not included in the cost but the organizer can help you find them.
The items without the asterisk are not necessary but greatly increase your comfort in the mountain. If you can access them, we highly recommend that you bring them along. The porters will carry them for you.
Pick brightly colored clothes for the trip. The high visibility comes in handy not only in bad weather and in case you stray from the path, but also for good photos.
Listen to the directives of the guide, and ask questions as they arise. The biggest asset that you can get from guides is knowledge.
Be aware of the changes in your body. In case you have extreme symptoms of altitude sickness, let the guide know. And remember, there is no shame in turning back!
