A crown of peaks in Aberdares...
Twelve Apostles is a series of twelve dramatic, rocky
peaks near Mount Kinangop. Different from many Aberdare
treks, Twelve Apostles holds no marked path; therefore, it
involves many bushwhacking through dense forest, making it
extremely challenging.
The trail starts at Njabini Forest Station and goes to
Elephant Hill summit, then a steep descent to Kinangop
Valley. After walking for 4km in the valley, turn right to
steep descents and ascents to 12 Apostles Peak. The summit
involves scrambling on the rocky trail to reach the
highest point. This is an extremely challenging hike, even
for experienced and fit hikers.
