4 Days Mount Kenya — Naro Moru Route

The quickest way to Point Lenana, for trekkers already acclimatised

  • Trekking

The Naro Moru route is the shortest and steepest way up, including the notorious Vertical Bog. It works well if you are fit and have already spent time at altitude; if this is your first high mountain, take the five-day Sirimon–Chogoria traverse instead.

Trip highlights

  • The fastest route to Point Lenana
  • Mackinder's Camp, right beneath the main peaks
  • The Teleki valley and its giant groundsel
  • Summit sunrise over the Nyambeni hills
