Day 2: Mount Kenya Bandas to Hike up 2 to 3 Hours to Drive to Chogoria Town – Nairobi
After breakfast hike 7 kilometers further up to the Road head at 3300 meters. Since it only takes 2 hours to get here, that leaves you with plenty of time to explore the surroundings.
One of the attractions here is the Nithi waterfalls, approximately 100 feet high, accessible by crossing the river and following the trail to the left for about 300 meters. Other attractions are Lake Ellis at 3500 meters and about 3 kilometers to the right of the road head, and Mugi Hill next to the Lake.
If you climb to the top of Mugi Hill, you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the neighboring flat-topped Giant’s Billiard table. From this point, you’ll retrace your steps. We will walk back along the vehicle track to the Bandas and sign out of the National Park.
We will then load up our 4×4 for the drive back down through the forest to Chogoria and on to Nairobi.
