Itinerary

6:00 AMFull-day adventure from Nairobi

Early Morning: Nairobi – Njabini – Elephant Hill

Depart Nairobi early, around 6:00 AM, for the scenic drive to Njabini, Nyandarua County. The journey takes you through the beautiful Central Kenya highlands, with views of farms, forests and mountain landscapes.

Upon arrival at the trailhead, meet your local hiking guide and complete registration before beginning the hike.

Morning: Elephant Hill Ascent

Start hiking through the forest as the trail gradually gains elevation. The route becomes steeper as you approach the upper sections, passing through bamboo and high-altitude vegetation.

Continue towards the moorland zone, where the landscape opens up and you begin to experience the dramatic scenery of the Aberdare Range.

Take short breaks along the way to rest, hydrate and enjoy the views.

Midday: Elephant Hill Summit

Continue towards the summit area of Elephant Hill, reaching an elevation of approximately 3,800 metres.

At the top, enjoy spectacular views across the Nyandarua highlands and, weather permitting, towards the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha and surrounding mountains.

Take photographs and enjoy a packed lunch while taking in the scenery.

Afternoon: Descent and Return to Nairobi

After lunch and some time at the summit, begin the descent back along the trail. The downhill section can still be demanding, particularly after several hours of hiking, so take your time and use trekking poles if available.

Arrive back at the trailhead, meet your driver and begin the journey back to Nairobi.

You can make a short stop along the way for refreshments before arriving in Nairobi in the evening.
