Description

Embark on a challenging day hike in Kenya's Aberdare Ranges, known for its rugged terrain, stunning moorlands, and high-altitude ascents. Begin at Twin Rocks Picnic site and proceed through open moorlands, rocky formations like the Dragon's Teeth and the Nipple, before potentially descending to areas like Rhino Hill, Seven Ponds, and eventually reaching points like Ol Donyo Lesatima Peak and Poster Hill. Traverse the vast moorlands of the Aberdares, offering diverse landscapes including bamboo forests, dark forests, and dramatic rock formations. Reach Satima Peak and descend via scenic routes. This is a demanding hike suitable for experienced, high-altitude hikers with good physical health, requiring preparation for cold and muddy conditions, even in drier seasons, and involving significant elevation gains. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, including potential rain, cold, and frost, and bring waterproof gear, warm clothing, sturdy hiking boots with good grip, and walking poles. While some hikes involve guided expeditions with support staff like rangers, chefs, and porters, it is generally recommended not to undertake this traverse alone and to utilize experienced hiking teams for safety. Enjoy breathtaking views from elevated points like Satima Peak, overlooking the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kenya, and the scenic beauty of the Aberdare's unique geological features.
