Mt. Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Route.

The Lemosho Route: is an unspoilt, remote, little-used and beautiful way up to the Shira Plateau. It can either be used to gain the Western Breach route or followed by the Kibo South Circuit to ascend by the easier Barafu Route. The route is one of the few where groups may be accompanied on the first day by an armed ranger as the forests around the Lemosho Glades are rich in buffalo, elephant and other big game animals.

The route is quite long and a party wishing to ascent comfortably should take 8 days on the trip. However the campsites at Shira 1 and at Karanga Valley could be left out by a very strong party ascending via the Barafu Route making this a 6 day trip. Also it is possible to go up the Western Breach and complete the trip in 5 days - this is a very tough option. The Barafu (comfortable) variant is described below.

Programme

1. Arrive and overnight at hotel near Moshi/Arusha.
2. Drive from Moshi or Arusha to Londorossi Park Gate (2250m, 2 hours). From here a forest track requiring a 4WD vehicle leads to Lemosho Glades (2100m, 11km, 45 minutes) and a possible campsite (park fees are not paid to camp here). Walk along forest trails to Mti Mkubwa (big tree) campsite, (2750m, 3 hours).
3. The trail gradually steepens and enters the giant heather moorland zone. Several streams are crossed then it gains the Shira Ridge at about 3600m and drops gently down to Shira 1 camp located by a stream on the Shira Plateau (3500m, 5 hours).
4. A gentle walk across the plateau leads to Shira 2 camp on moorland meadows by a stream (3850m, 1.5 hours). A variety of walks are available on the Plateau making this an excellent acclimatisation day.
5. Continue eastwards over moorland then a the rocky path leads amongst outcrops to the Lava Tower. We traverse below this and descend gently to the Barranco Hut and good campsites back in the moorland zone (3900m, 4 hours).
6. A short scramble to the top of the Great Barranco and then a traverse over scree and ridges to the Karanga Valley (4000m, 3 hours), beneath the icefalls of the Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers.
7. After climbing out of the Karanga Valley the trail ascends a ridge to the Barafu Hut, a bleak location with little vegetation at 4600m, (3 hours walking).
8. An early start for the ascent to the rim of the Kibo Crater between the Rebmann and Ratzel Glaciers, (4 hours); the last section before the rim can sometimes be snow-covered and an ice-axe or ski stick is useful for balance. From here a further hour leads to Uhuru Peak, from where there are often fine views of Meru to the west and the jagged peak of Mawenzi to the east. After a short time on the summit you descend to the Barafu Hut for a rest and lunch before continuing on down to camp at Mweka Hut in the giant heather zone on the Mweka route. Those with energy on the summit may wish to descend to the Reutsh Crater and visit the dramatic ice pinnacles of the Eastern Icefields.
9. A 3-4 hour descent through beautiful forest brings you to the Park gate and your waiting transport. Drive back to the hotel near Moshi/ Arusha..
10. Leave hotel after breakfast.

Variation: Lemosho Route then Uhuru Point by the Arrow Glacier
This is a really steep, hard but short route to the summit from Arrow Glacier Camp which is itself reached in about 4 hours from the Barranco Hut. From December to February crampons and ice axes may be needed.
Cost and details on request.

Accommodation on the mountain is in tents; you will need a sleeping bag and sleeping mat. The porters will pitch the tents for you.

This is a strenuous walking trip but within the limits of a fit individual used to walking in mountain areas. Ski sticks or ice-axe are useful when ascending the scree to the summit.

This route starts an altitude of 11600ft (3500m) and should only be attempted by trekkers who are already acclimatised or know from previous experience that they can tolerate altitude. From the trailhead the trail heads east across the centre of the Shira Plateau, where it is often likely to spot big game, such as elephant and buffalo. The route then joins up with the Machame Route at Shira Camp and approaches the summit via Stella Point descending via Mweka Camp.

Walking Safaris

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 15:15:05 GMT

Day 1 Walking safari on Chyulu

Depart Nairobi around 0800, for the 3 hours drive down the Mombasa road to Kibwezi. Here we will leave the tarmac, and take a dirt road, (probably an optimistic term for it), for the 30 km to where we start walking to the caves. Sumptuous lunch is served and later in the afternoon an hours walk to the entrance of the caves. Afternoon spent exploring.
Day 2 Chyulu walking hill

Explore sections of one of the longest "Lava Tube" caves in the world - Leviathan. These caves, relatively rare worldwide, were formed when molten lava, of specific type and viscosity flowed down a slope of a specific angle. The surface layer cooled and solidified, but the lower part, still molten, continued to flow on down. At this point, somewhere up the hillside a collapse of the surface crust occurred through which air enters, and so a tube evacuated itself just below the surface. Afternoon and the evening spent down in the caves looking at some of the fascinating formations found therein - Sink holes, lava ropes, stalagmites and stalactites, benches and of course the secondary, water formed features.
Day 3 Safari walking on chyulu

Early morning departure by road for the top of the Chyulu Hills after breakfast. Superb walking country with gently undulating grasslands, interspersed with dense patches of forest. Possibility of viewing herds of eland and other antelope, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest with slightly lesser chance to see elephant, lion and buffalo and the other game that live in the area. Probable views of Kilimanjaro just 50 km away. Night will be spent along the crest. Probably cool and windy with low cloud in the early morning. (Therefore warm sleeping bag comes in handy).
Day 4 Chyulu Hills safari walk

Full day of guided walks with our experienced English speaking guide. All meals and overnight back at the camp.
Day 5 Walking safari on chyulu hills

Early morning game drive or short walk before a late breakfast / early lunch. It's then along the crest road and down the western side of the hills for the drive back to Nairobi arriving before nightfall.

We have various options of an extra day on the itinerary or less depending on the groups travelling.

Itinerary may be varied from 3 - 7 or more days and is often combined with a visit to Tsavo / Amboseli National Parks .

Whitewate Rafting

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 15:06:29 GMT

GENERAL INFORMATION

White water rafting Safaris pioneered White-water rafting in Kenya back in early 1991 when Mark Savage and 4 friends decided, despite never having set foot in a rubber boat before, to "have a go" at running an 80 km section of the Athi River. Three of the participants thought it to be the most exciting thing they'd done in years, and decided that it was an activity that should be introduced on to the Kenya tourist list of options and excursions available. As an indication to rafting's ever increasing popularity, we have had as many people on the rivers with us this year, as during all of the first five years combined. 1996 looks to be continuing the trend.

white water rafting

To date we are still the only outfitter on the rivers, and our river expert, Mark Savage, has been on the first descent of every river so far rafted in Kenya. In this activity one of our largest clients is the British Army, for whom we do the "Adventure Training" for their men whilst they are over in Kenya on general exercise.

Come and join us on one of the rivers described. We'll give you an experience that you will remember for many years to come, for on no other rivers in the world will you find the diversity of experiences that we offer: The spectacular scenery of Kenya and the multitude of bird and animal life, which, combined with the excitement of White-water Rafting, makes for a totally unique safari.

Alternatively we can customise a river experience to fit your request; be it a serene and scenic float trip along a picturesque waterway, or an adrenaline surging ride down a different wild and raging White-water River. We can even offer experienced rafters the opportunity to attempt, with us, a first descent of a virgin river. (Limited availability).
The Rivers that we most frequently run
Tana River

Due to the high quality of the white-water sections, the prolific bird life and the natural beauty of the whole area, along with its ease of access from Nairobi (just 95 km), this is our most popular river for both the white-water trips and scenic float trips. The white-water section that we do starts some 2½ km above the town of Sagana, and ends at our own campsite some 16 km down stream. The scenic float trip starts from the campsite and takes in 12 km of calm water down to the barrage close to the main road back to Nairobi.
The Mathoya River

Because of the serious nature of this river, we will only make it available to those who have rafted with us before or who have experience on a class V river. 500m of descent over 30 km of river, almost all continuous class III and IV white-water with a dozen or more sections of class V. Low volume and highly technical.
The Athi River

Distance from Nairobi is about 230 km, and hence only viable as a minimum of a three day trip. The description attached covers the more usual 80 km section that we do, but it is possible to start from near the town of Thika and to finally end the trip on the Indian Ocean near Malindi some 500 km on down. Several short portages required. Best described as a scenic river but with perhaps a third of the river being class II and III. Three sections of class IV / V.
The Ewaso-Ng'iro River

Best done as a 4 day expedition from Nairobi though sometimes as just 3 days. This river combines the best of class IV white-water with superb scenery and wildlife viewing. Unfortunately, because of extensive cultivation within the primary catchment area, water level reliability is poor and hence we can seldom confirm a departure much more than a week or so in advance.
Other Rivers

Some still not run for their full length. Upper section of the Tana - Very serious with several kilometres of portage required. Lower section into Meru National Park - Scenic only. Nzoia and Yala - reasonable water but the area is heavily populated. Chania, Thiba, and several others look good from the air and are awaiting exploration.
Specialised training and courses
We do part of the "Adventure Training" for men of the British Army and Royal Navy.
We teach the potential river enthusiast all the river skills necessary for him to run his own rafting adventure, or sufficiently qualified to assist our own full time guides on the river. We teach you how to "read" the river, and to find a safe route through major rapids. We teach oarsmanship and how to command a paddle raft. River rescue, equipment rigging and knot tying. River-orientated first aid. Environmentally sensitive camping procedures and much more.
