5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the mountain
include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John 4,883m.

actually being the agglomeration of three
distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi
(5,149 / 16,896 ft) and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft).

standing at 4,566m compared to 5,895m, but is still an
impressive freestanding volcano, which makes a superb
four day climb to the top. It last erupted in 1910
therefore can be classified as an active volcano. The
first Mount Meru ascent was made by Dr. Fritz Jaeger,
1904. The town of Arusha lies at the base of Mount Meru

Mount Longonot hiking
|
|
Mount Longonot is a stratovolcano
found to the southeast of
Lake Naivasha, a freshwater
lake in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.
The mountain is believed to have last erupted in the
1860's. Its name is gotten from the Maasai
word Oloonong'ot, signifying mountain of many peaks.
Mount Longonot is
secured by Kenya Wildlife Service as a major part of
Mount Longonot National Park. A 3.1 km trail keeps
running from the recreation center passageway up to the
hole edge, and proceeds in a 7.2 km circle surrounding
the hole. The entire visit (entryway around the crater
rim) of 13.5 km takes around 4–5 hours taking into
consideration essential rest breaks - parts of the trail
are vigorously dissolved and extremely steep.
The park gate is at around 2150 m asl and the crest at
2780 m asl yet following the rugged edge includes
significantly more than the 630 m vertical distinction.
If you would like
to make
Mount Longonot trekking
day trip, then this would be a challenging activity. You
can take Mount Longonot trekking as part of a fitness
training for the
5 Days Sirimon Route Down Chogoria.

Sirimon route is one of the least used
Mount Kenya climbing routes
featuring the a more gradual ascent profile offering the best acclimatisation possibilities. It passes through striking
Yellowwood forests in the lower stretches, abundant wildlife and
stunning alpine scenery higher up. From the head of Mackinder's
Valley past Simba Col, Point Lenana at 4985m is reached.
Mount Kenya Naro Moru route offers the fastest ascent to
Lenana Peak making it the most popular of all the main trekking
routes. It is not a scenic route as compared to others and not
suited for acclimatization due to its rapid ascent, unsuitable
for climbers and hikers wishing to acclimatise gradually. It
features the "Vertical Bog" which is a steep marsh of wet
moorland which is particularly unpleasant and strenuous
especially after rains.

Tarns looking down into the remarkable Gorges Valley and the
