Pick up from hotel after breakfast and drive to Chogoria Park Gate. The drive takes about 4 hours from Nairobi to Chogoria town where we meet your porters and guides. From here we drive to the Mt. Kenya forest to Chogoria Park Gate located 22 kilometers. This journey is 29 kilometers long and goes over a motor-able dirt road that passes through fertile farmlands before getting into a tropical forest, followed by a bamboo zone. We spend the first night at the Kenya Wildlife Service campsite at the Park Gate, or at Meru Mt. Kenya Lodge 7 kilometers from the Park Gate.
