Sneak peek of the experience

For this hike, we mostly use the Chogoria Route which is the most scenic and picturesque route. However, if you prefer a shorter hike to the summit, we can tailor different routes for you. The JustRioba Way will be  an intimate experiences to Mt Kenya in 203  via Chogoria. Maximum number of people per trip ranges between 1-8 people. The science behind limiting numbers is to ensure maximum enjoyment and try to achieve 100% summit rate.
