Rising to 4,001M above sea level, Oldoinyo Lesatima is the highest peak in the Aberdares and the 3rd highest mountain in Kenya. We’ll take the Dragon’s Teeth trail via Rhino Gate, starting around Twin Rocks and heading into the northern moorlands. From there, we’ll make our way through short shrubs, high-altitude vegetation and those famous jagged rock formations known as the Dragon’s Teeth.
And this is where the fun begins. 😂 The trail has gentle inclines, but the moorlands come with their own little adventure — expect a fair amount of hop, dip and hopefully no fall as we make our way through the boggy sections. 🌿🥾 The Dragon’s Teeth formations come about halfway through the trail, and from there we continue towards Satima Peak. The final stretch gets tougher as the altitude kicks in, so this is definitely a slow-and-steady kind of hike.

We’re looking at 16KM, 800M elevation gain and 6–8 hours on the mountain. We’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the trail, take breaks, take in the views, spot some wildlife if we’re lucky and, of course, get a little muddy along the way. 😂
But there’s another reason this hike is important — Mt Kenya is next. 👀⛰️ This is our final mountain outing before we head out to Point Lenana at 4,985M, so it’s the perfect opportunity to get some
