The hiking possibilities for day trips or short walks around the
lodge are in fact unlimited. Guides and porters are available who have spent
their whole live in the forest and can tell all about its mysteries.
There is a route to the top of Mount
Kenya, which starts directly from the lodge. It is called the "Kamweti route" and is not frequently
used, which makes it even more of an adventure to approach the summit from this
side. The "kamweti" route offers two different packages depending on
time, one of five days and one of seven.
