About the Trail:

Mount Chebuswa sits on the northern side of the Aberdare Ranges, in the neighbourhood of some of the range’s most iconic features: Twin Rocks, Dragon’s Teeth, and Mount Satima, Kenya’s third highest peak. Chebuswa is a beginner-friendly mountain, making it ideal for hikers who want to experience the Aberdares without taking on an overly technical or exhausting climb. It’s also less explored, which makes it an exciting opportunity to discover a quieter trail and tick off a long-standing bucket-list hike. Our hike starts before Twin Rocks, on the lower side of the range, before easing into the drive toward the Twin Rocks picnic site. From there, we ascend Mount Chebuswa, enjoy the views from the summit, then descend and continue toward Dragon’s Teeth.

For the team, there are route options depending on strength and energy:

• One option is to hike up to Dragon’s Teeth and wrap up the day there by heading back to base.

• For super strong hikers, there’s an optional extension beyond Dragon’s Teeth. You can continue towards Mount Satima, turning the hike into a more challenging and rewarding adventure.

• Mount Chebuswa offers the perfect balance of accessibility, adventure, and discovery which is a beautiful introduction to the northern Aberdares, and a chance to explore a trail that still feels wild and uncrowded.
