Mount Kenya - Chogoria Bandas

Mount Kenya - Chogoria Bandas
The road to Chogoria is great but the two hour road from Chogoria Town to the Bandas is not good at all. Many people arrange to leave their vehicles in Chogoria Hospital grounds or have a driver to take it back whilst they go up in a hired battered landrover that they have there. All our 4WDs got there fine. There are basic chalets in a row with fireplaces and kitchen area and a small dining table in each. You can also book the communual cooking and dining hut which is better if you are a larger group who want to be together. The views toward the peaks of Mt Kenya are fantastic and its a nice place to stay and walk from even if you don’t go up the mountain from there. Its chilly so remember coats, hats and gloves! Don’t bank on any electricity. I booked with Lets Go Travel but they hadn’t told the bandas when we got there and there was plenty of space for us all!
