Mt. Kenya: Naro Moru Route
On this page: Overview | Itinerary | Pricing
Overview
The Naro Moru route is the fastest and therefore also the most popular route onto the mountain, being used by many of the tour and outfitting companies guiding clients up to Point Lenana.
The Naro Moru route's steepness and direct approach to the peak makes it more challenging to acclimatize on than others, however our 5 day itinerary offers plenty of time for a safe and successful ascent/descent.
The Naro Moru route also features the legendary "Vertical Bog", a steep quagmire of wet moorland that is extremely taxing and unpleasant after rains.
The final climb up to the Austrian Hut tackles a long, loose and uncompromising scree slope up the side of the Teleki Valley.
