OVERVIEW

5 Days Mount Kenya Naro Moru, Chogoria Route, Mount Kenya Climbing, Mount Kenya Trekking, Mount Kenya Tour Package

Pack camping gear and supplies to strike out west up this long but spectacular approach through the deep chasm of gorge valley.

The Gorges Valley is a major feature on the Chogoria Route. This route leads from Chogoria town up to the peaks circuit. The 32 km (20 miles) from the forest gate to the park gate are often done by vehicle, but it is also possible to walk. There is much wildlife in the forest, with safari ant columns crossing the track, monkeys in the trees, and the potential for seeing elephant, buffalo and leopard. The road is not in good condition, and requires careful driving and walking. Near the park gate the bamboo zone starts, with grasses growing to 12 m high (40 ft)
