Depart Nairobi early in the morning and travel to Chogoria town on the eastern side of Mount Kenya. After completing park entry formalities and meeting your guide, continue by vehicle through the forest zone toward the trailhead. The trek to Lake Ellis takes you through beautiful moorland landscapes dotted with giant lobelias, heather, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking valleys and rolling hills. As you gain altitude, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic, with occasional views of Mount Kenya's peaks on clear days. Arrive at Lake Ellis in the afternoon, set up camp, and spend the rest of the day relaxing by the lakeshore. The peaceful alpine setting provides excellent opportunities for photography, birdwatching, and enjoying a spectacular sunset before dinner and an overnight stay at camp.
