About the Trail
Mt. Satima, also known as Ol Doinyo Satima, stands as a breathtaking jewel in the heart of Kenya. Nestled within the Aberdare Range, this 3rd highest peak in the country reaches an elevation of 4,001 meters (13,120 feet) above sea level. We will use the Rhino Gate, drive through the indigenous forest leading to the forest edge and start our hike at Ole Satima start point, to Dragon Teeth whose formation is a sporadic arrangement of rocks emerging from the damp moorland and marshes of the Aberdares.
