Day Hiking

Quite possibly One of the most breathtaking hikes in Kenya

Aberdare Ranges was named after the president of the Royal Geographical Society by the explorer Joseph Thompson in 1884. The park also has the most magnificent and dramatic waterfalls to be found in Kenya. While traversing the moorland section of the park you get a chance to visit all these wonderful sights on foot and enjoy our packed lunch at the beautiful Queen’s cave.

The Satima trail is the most scenic and gentle of all the Aberdare trails, with the route hugging the escarpments above undulating valleys and hills of rich alpine and subalpine flora, including species of lobelia, erica, giant helichrysum and tussock grasses

How to Prepare for the Hike

Engage in active cardio exercises such as aerobics, walking, running, cycling, and swimming among others the week prior to the event.
Set aside the day before the hike for resting–take a break from exercises.
Increase your hydration at least two days to the hike.
Purpose to get enough rest the night before the hike.
If on intermittent fasting or on a diet, take a break in the period one day before and after the hike. This way, you will build up your energy reserves for the arduous task ahead.
Cut your toe nails!
Have a generous breakfast at least 3 hours before the start of the hike. This ensures that most of the food has been digested by the time you begin the hike, giving you the much-needed energy while ensuring your stomach is not too full for comfort.
Use the bathroom before leaving the house to reduce the need for bathroom breaks on the commute.
Set your mind up for conquering yourself. Hiking is more about your mindset than physical preparation. Once you win the battle in your mind, everything else contributes less than 10%. You can do it!
