How to Prepare to Climb Mount Kenya for the First Time

The New Year is just around the corner and perhaps one of your goals is to climb Mount Kenya. If you’re new to hiking, this may seem like a lofty goal, but your fellow novice hiker is here to tell you how you can turn this dream into reality!

I went from considering an hour-long hike as my physical limit to hiking trails that were over eight hours long! And in September of 2022, after four days, Mark and I successfully climbed Mount Kenya and reached the summit of Point Lenana.

Tips for a Successful Mount Kenya hike

Getting to this point was both a physical and mental journey. While I have toyed with the idea of climbing a mountain in my lifetime, I’ve always seen it as a long-term goal that would put me on a gruelling, life-changing path.

Luckily, the path to climbing Mount Kenya wasn’t so daunting. If anything, it’s given me more confidence in my physical abilities and it might as well be the most epic thing I have done to date. So, in a way, it’s been life-changing but it was certainly not as gruelling as I had initially thought.

This then brings me to my first tip on how to prepare to climb Mount Kenya for the first time.

How to Prepare to Climb Mount Kenya: Before the Hike

1. Prepare Mentally

I believe the first step for a new hiker to climb Mount Kenya is to have the right mindset. If you believe it’s something that you can’t do, then chances are that you won’t be able to do it. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can!

One way I prepared mentally for this journey was to remind myself that as long as I kept putting one foot in front of the other, I would be fine. There were no time limits (technically), it was not a marathon or any kind of race, and Point Lenana requires no technical hiking skills, so I would be fine. And so would you.

Once you have the right mindset, you will be motivated to start training for the hike and this will ultimately increase your chances of success.

2. Train for the Climb

If you’re not physically active, then you need to get moving. For new hikers, I recommend that you test your endurance and get familiar with hiking by going on shorter treks before you set out to Mount Kenya. If you live in Kenya, there are multiple trails to start with, including Ngong Hills (~3hrs), Mount Longonot (5hrs) and Elephant Hill (8hrs), amongst others.

I would also advise that you engage in some form of physical exercise at least 2-3 times a week. This can be doing a couple of squats daily and taking walks or running around your neighbourhood.

Remember that training to climb Mount Kenya is not the same as training for a marathon, for example. So don’t feel intimidated thinking about how much exercise you have to do 🙂 The most important thing is that you are moving and you are consistent.

3. Break into your shoes

If you get new hiking shoes, be sure to break into them before your climb. The last thing you want is to have blisters while you hike.

How to prevent altitude sickness while climbing Mount Kenya

Make sure they are the perfect fit, and try them out on your day hikes before the big climb to make sure you won’t have any issues with them later.

4. Pack the right gear

In addition to good hiking shoes, you also need good mountain hiking gear to ensure that you don’t suffer too much and to increase your chances for a successful summit. Check out this post for a complete list of all the items I packed and used on our Mount Kenya climb.

5. Go with a Good Guide

It is important to ensure that you take this journey with a guide who is well-versed with the mountain and who has your best interests at heart.

Can I climb Mount Kenya without a guide

We climbed Mount Kenya with Paul, via Justrioba Tours and I can highly recommend both parties. Some guides may recommend routes that are easier to reach, however, these may not necessarily be the best routes for new hikers. So be sure to double-check with your guide and communicate your preferences clearly.

6. Choose a Good Route

We hiked Mount Kenya via the Chogoria-Sirimon route and I can recommend this route for new hikers and those travelling from places with lower elevations.

Lake Ellis Mount Kenya Hike

This route is both picturesque and it gives hikers sufficient time to acclimatize to higher altitudes, thereby decreasing the chances of altitude sickness.

7. Begin the Acclimatization Process

If you travel from a location with a lower altitude, try to allocate about two days in Nairobi, Nanyuki or Chogoria Town to begin the acclimatization process. This will also help to reduce the chances of getting altitude sickness.

Now that you know what to do before you climb Mount Kenya, let’s talk about what you can do while on the trail.

How to Prepare to Climb Mount Kenya: During the Hike

Climbing Mount Kenya cost

If you get a good guide, they will cover most of these tips anyway, but here goes…

1. Drink Lots of Water

If there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget about while hiking, it should be hydration. And this should not be limited to only when you feel thirsty. During my hike, my goal was to always get to the next campsite with an empty water bladder. Like all the earlier tips, this also helps to keep altitude sickness at bay.

2. Perform Breathing Exercises

Another tip I can recommend while you hike is to perform breathing exercises. When Mark taught me to do this before our climb, I didn’t think it would make any difference but in my experience, it did! While climbing, I would inhale deeply on one step and exhale on the other. And when we camped, we would do more breathing exercises.

Lake Ellis Campsite

There are several books and videos about this online, so you can check those out to find something that works for you.

3. Climb High, Sleep Low

This is a technique used to get the body to adjust to higher altitudes. You don’t have to worry too much about this, your guide will incorporate this technique into your climb. But it might be something to confirm during your pre-hike meeting.

Climbing Mount Kenya is an adventure of a lifetime and I applaud you for considering doing so and I am cheering you on to the summit!

  1. I think about hiking a mountain but I’ve never really considered it as something to do when I travel.😅 It looks really scary. But like you said, we will be fine.

    Thank you for sharing!

    1. It sounds and looks scary but with the right amount of prep and precautions, some Mountains are within reach to people like us! 😂

  2. Aww! Wow! Congratsssss! I remember my first mountain climb (in Ecuador). I felt so accomplished so i can just imagine what this felt like. Well done! The views are incredible gosh.

One beautiful day in 2018 🌞 , I awoke with the sudden urge to explore 3 countries on a budget! It was my first cross-country road trip but I took that chance and it led me straight to my husband 💕

Funny how life works out sometimes!

A little dramatic? But yes, this was exactly what I needed.

I was experiencing burnout, at the same time, facing the possibility of being laid off from work... going through a deeply personal and emotionally draining phase and needed an out!

It was a short getaway but it was the just the reset that I needed! 🦋

In this Nairobi Weekender Series, I'll be sharing some of the best weekend trips you can take from Nairobi.

Think beach getaways, hiking, camping, safaris and more! All within a short distance from the city!

In this video, we're visiting Amboseli National Park. This weekend getaway is perfect for a long 3-day weekend. Staying at least two nights in the area will give you enough time to enjoy a safari and your accommodation.

I recommend booking a place with a view of a waterhole - with this, you might even be tempted to skip the drive in the park completely!

Let me know what other places you'd love to see and please share your best weekend or day trips from Nairobi in the comments! 💬

Once again, I've found myself back in K-drama heaven! 🥰 I had left K-drama for anti-MLM and true crime content on YouTube for a bit, but this drama (Our Unwritten Seoul)? It dragged me right back in!

It reminds me of the golden days when Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary Attorney Woo were airing at the same time! Those were weekends I eagerly looked forward to! 😂

In a season of my life that's felt a little uncertain, this drama is a small spark, something warm (and certain?) to look forward to every week(end).

If you're watching it too, let me know in the comment section. But no think pieces about what you don't like 😭 Let's all just enjoy this in peace and hope there's a very sweet and happy ending waiting for us in the next 2 weeks! 😂

And if you're not a kdrama fan, that's okay too! Maybe you'll enjoy this quick guide to Seoul and beyond! 🇰🇷🚀
