This will be our longest 1 day hike yet, at a staggering 28km. Starting at North Kinangop Forest Station and with an elevation gain of over 1240m, this is without a doubt one of the most challenging hikes we have ever done. This hike is rated Difficult and should not be attempted by beginners
The journey begins at the North Kinangop Forest Station in Mutarakwa. As you proceed, lush indigenous vegetation greets you, with narrow paths dotted with fallen branches, trunks and a variety of flora. As the trail climbs, you’ll traverse dense bamboo forests, eventually reaching the vast moorlands
The final ascent to Kinangop’s summit is not for the faint-hearted. The steep climb
demands full-body coordination, requiring you to grab onto roots, thick grass, and twigs for support. The narrow summit offers stunning, yet fleeting, views as the freezing winds and low temperatures remind you it’s time to descend.
Despite the gruelling nature of this trail, the reward is unmatched—a blend of physical
challenge, high-altitude experience, and some of the most scenic views in the region.
