The wilder side of this soul is craving for a mountain climbing, preferably Mt. Kenya during the december holidays.



Has anyone here done this before? What are the requirements and pocket damage?

@kenmac. Cost depends on the no. of days you do the hike, the more the higher the amount. It can also depend on the guide. For 4 days could cost frm 15k. you need some level of fitness so that you dont just endure but also enjoy the experience. Been there and hope to go back soon. There areg other costs like transport to the base from where you are e. Nairobi to Naro moru/ Sirimon/Chogoria. Went there with a guide who is also my friend so i did nt pay much.

eeeeeh, that's good temptation.... i would love to.... but the knees wont agree to carry this weight up that mountain... unless @leona confirms there is a chartered flight for those who get stuck at 2kms from the starting point....
