Mount Satima
Mt Satima peak is the highest point in the Aberdare Ranges and the 3rd highest point in Kenya. Accessing the mountain through Dragon’s Teeth traverses one of the coldest places in Kenya. It also gives you a better view of the Northlands, taking you to the border of Nyeri and Nyandarua Counties. This 16 kilometre trek takes you to 4001m above sea level, with an altitude gain of about 800 metres. The hike goes through alpine vegetation and craggy moraines from which the name “Dragon’s Teeth” emanated. Enjoy the most breathtaking view of the Aberdares Ranges and occasion shoulder-brushing with wild animals. Due to the altitude covered, one must undergo basic preparation to acclimatize their body for the gain.
