Mt. Kipipiri Hike is an exciting start to mountaineering as most other Aberdare hikes. It is a perfect trail for hikers looking for a challenge, starting at the Geta Forest Station near Getabush, up to the Mt. Kipipiri summit (3,363m ASL)
, and then down a steep 4.5-km stretch
.

The hike starts at a well-paved dirt road before detouring into a graciously endowed rainforest with wildlife and panoramic treats of the Nyandarua Range, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Olboloosat. Hikers should be ready for a 13-km walk
to Mt. Kipipiri summit, which certainly demands resolve. However, the beautiful fauna and flora, and enthralling forest scents make it worth it.
