Mt. Satima Aberdares Trail Hike–Aberdare Ranges 14th August 2021:
Mt. Satima Aberdares Trail Hike; The scenic summits, valleys and hills are a hikers’ paradise. Hikers have a choice of trails based on the elevation and terrain. The range’s highest summit, Oldonyo Lesatima, is just above 4,001m above sea level and is on the north of the range. The Satima trail is the most scenic and gentle of all the Aberdare trails, with the route hugging the escarpments above undulating valleys and hills of rich alpine and sub-alpine flora, including species of lobelia, erica, giant helichrysum and tussock grasses. The hike offers an incredible mountain experience and is ideal for those acclimatizing to hike high mountains like Mt Kenya or Mt Kilimanjaro.

Located on the eastern slopes of Mt Kenya in Meru County at 3,470m asl, Lake Ellis possesses a beauty that will captivate anyone daring enough to take the journey there.

That's a true reflection of all our hikes , both in Mt. Kenya or Mt. Kilimanjaro or even other simple hikes....

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro produced more lessons than the word count here will allow. I could write a book just on the experience and how it relates to life & business.
•
One quick one...
•
Only 50-60% of those who begin the trek reach the summit. A near 50% failure rate.
•
When I put this trip together I invited 13 other top business leaders. None of us had any experience climbing mountains. No professional athletes. Age range from around 35-45 and some were not in great shape at all.
•
Just 14 regular guys who have crushed in to some of the highest levels in business.
•
There was also a group of German University athletes at the camp we met the day before we started. All current athletes, ages 19-23, and in perfect shape.
•
We were all thinking, “Damn these guys are going to have NO problem!”
•
I’ll spare you all the details of our trek but almost all of us threw up because of altitude sickness. One got rushed to the hospital, another went in to cardiac arrest (thank God we had a Doctor with us), and another one had to be carried down because of severe altitude sickness.
•
Naturally, what would you think comparing the two groups?
•
The regular person would naturally assume the German athletes all made it to the top but several of the “normal guys” failed to reach the summit.
•
But if you understand the psychology of a business leader understanding that “How you do anything is how you do everything”, you probably already know the results...
•
100% - 14 out of 14 of us “regular guys” made it to the top.
•
Several of the German athletes quit and never saw the mountaintop.
•
Why?
•
The athletes were clearly superior in every way EXCEPT the one way that matters the most which is THE WILL TO WIN.
•
Despite the pain, sickness and utter and complete exhaustion, the 14 of us had an undeniable desire to win. Quitting was simply not an option.
•
When you feel like quitting, like many of us did, just keep taking ONE more step & you’ll reach the top!
