The first day we leave Nanyuki for Marania through Timau and into the Eboli farm. This first day gives you a chance to gradually increase attitude level s through the natural bushes and vegetation very unique but that characterizes the drier forest flora. The Marania camp gives a good view of the summit point Lenana during a clear morning.
We leave Marania for major’s camp. This will be a walk on long but less steep tracks. You will be able to come face to face with Zebras and elands on the safari tracks once in a while.
The day gives you a chance to get mountains vegetation, rocks and cold weather. This is as a result of steepy terrains from the camp to Shiptons camp that stands at an average height of 4200 meters above the sea level via The Icemike.
