Start your journey from Nairobi early in the morning, around 6:30–7:00 AM. Drive toward Mount Kenya via Thika and Embu (for the Chogoria route) or through Karatina and Naro Moru (for the western side). The drive takes about 4–5 hours, depending on the route and road conditions.
Upon arrival, check into a lodge or camp near the park gate—popular options include Serena Mountain Lodge, Naro Moru River Lodge, or Castle Forest Lodge. In the afternoon, enjoy a guided nature walk in the lower forest zone or explore the Mount Kenya National Park gate area, spotting birds, waterfalls, or wildlife like colobus monkeys.
Wake up to the sounds of the forest and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Take a half-day hike up the lower slopes of Mount Kenya with a certified local guide. Options include a trek to Mackinder's Camp (if starting early from Naro Moru Gate), or shorter hikes to Mau Mau Caves, Magura Falls, or the Temple in the Rock.
After the hike, freshen up at your lodge and begin your scenic drive back to Nairobi in the early afternoon. Optional lunch stops include Trout Tree Restaurant near Nanyuki or local spots in Karatina or Sagana. Arrive in Nairobi by early evening.
