Oh! What a beauty

Rising to an altitude of 4,001m (13,126ft) above sea level, Oldoinyo Lesatima is the highest of the Aberdares peaks and the third highest peak in Kenya, offering an unparalleled trekking experience in Kenya.

Our journey will commence at Shamata gate, navigating through the indigenous forest until reaching the forest edge near the twin peaks. The flora transitions to tussock grass in marshy areas, revealing a captivating landscape as you ascend. Noteworthy rock formations, including the prominent Dragon's Teeth, emerge on the plateau, sporadically rising from the wet moorland and bogs of the Aberdares.
