Mount Satima & Dragon’s Teeth Day Hike

The scenic summits, valleys and hills are a hikers’ paradise. Hikers have a choice of trails based on the elevation and terrain. The range’s highest summit, Oldonyo Lesatima, is just above 4,000m above sea level and is on the north of the range.
The Satima trail is the most scenic and gentle of all the Aberdare trails, with the route hugging the escarpments above undulating valleys and hills of rich alpine and sub-alpine flora, including species of lobelia, erica, giant helichrysum and tussock grasses.
The hike offers an incredible mountain experience and is ideal for those acclimatizing to hike high mountains like Mt Kenya or Mt Kilimanjaro.

Quick Tips on How to Get in Shape for Hiking:

• Give yourself a month. Get in shape by going on walks and small hikes at least 3-4 times a week.
• Break in your hiking boots. Wear your boots (especially if they’re new!) around the house, then gradually begin using them on short walks. 
• Use your backpack. On your walks, throw on a backpack and work yourself up to a point where you carry the same weight as the weight you’ll carry during your trip.
• Lift weights. Muscle building is a great way to strengthen your body. For beginners, start light and increase the weight only once you’re ready.
• Go swimming. Aquatic exercise is low-impact, relieves sore muscles, and builds up endurance.

Start a Hiking Workout.

For difficult hikes, we recommend preparing yourself physically by planning a small hiking workout to increase your fitness level. Check out our list of the best exercises to prepare yourself for hiking.

• Crunches: an excellent way to build up core body strength to be able to stay sturdy on uneven surfaces. 
• Lunges and squats: another exercise that builds up your core strength while also improving leg muscles.
• Push-ups: strengthening your upper body, especially the back, will help you stay fit while carrying a heavy backpack.
• Cardio: increasing your cardio endurance through activities such as walking, running, swimming, and cycling will help you hike long distances.
• Dynamic stretches: dynamic stretches, such as leg swinging and trunk twists, are a  useful way to warm up your joints and muscles before any cardio activity.
• Steps: walking up and down steps while wearing a heavy backpack is a great way to prepare your body for multi-day hikes.
