Guest joining for the hike will either have spent the night at Leleshwa Camp or will arrive in the morning. Lunch is served at Leleshwa Camp, where you be met by your guide who will brief you on the walk and the correct equipment and clothing to be packed. Hiking and day packs are provided by the Camp and you will only pack what you need for the hike – all other luggage can be left at Leleshwa Camp. The drive up to our starting point in the Loita Hills takes 1½ hours. Here we are met by our porters and donkeys, who will take care of transporting our luggage and camping equipment over the next few days. Our 2 hour walk commences through cedar forests before briefly opening up onto Maasai farmland. Hereafter we enter a deep valley shouldered by forests that characterise the Loita Hills. We reach Inchapai Base Camp which is set in an ox bow and fed by crystal clear mountain springs.
