Mt .Satima is the third highest peak in Kenya with such a beautiful landscape and scenic camping spots .If you enjoy walking on large open grassland fields with a gentle breeze and hike up beautiful terrains,this is the spot to be in..and ,remember to carry a camera because dragon's teeth is waiting...Such a cool spot to camp and take some photos ..
You might want to know how difficult the hike is and It's pretty manageable by anyone.I would categorise it as "Moderate" and beginner friendly,provided you've been up a hill before,..the only thing to watch out is how your body will respond to the altitude but that shouldn't worry you,..was with a group and we summited without any issues..take it slow and you'll be up there with no time .
Did you know that Mt.Satima has two peaks ?...Well go out there and find out .
What to carry:
Waterproof boots - just in case it rains. Rain jacket/Poncho/°Umbrella Water -atleast 2 litres Snacks šš
Hope you enjoy your hike and let me know if this...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI had an amazing hiking experience at Satima! The views on the way up and during the hike are absolutely stunning - and the Dragonās Teeth, itās a nature loverās dream. The hike itself was beginner-friendly (in my opinion as I had not hiked before) for the most part, the last 1.75 km was the most challenging due to the altitude, fog and steep incline.

Itās 19km uphill and it has loose pebbles and stones, so Iād recommend a 4x4 or using the alternative Shamata route that goes all the way to Nyahururu, which is much better but almost twice as long. Also, dress warmly - it gets seriously cold and foggy at the top, so bring layers of jackets, gloves, and a mask.
Despite the tough final stretch and freezing temperatures, getting to the peak was incredibly rewarding. Would totally do it again! Also shout out to...

This was my 4th hike this year, Mt Satima and Dragon's teeth The 3rd highest summit in Kenya,the trail was really windy but the views and hills were breathtaking.
