Trail description

A 10.6 km climb on the Mount Kipipiri Summit Trail to the 3,349 m top of Mount Kipipiri, an isolated volcano on the Kinangop Plateau about 32 km north-east of Lake Naivasha. Its forest reserve, part of Aberdare National Park, shelters colobus and Sykes monkeys, elephants and buffalo, and Lake Naivasha can be seen from the summit. The name comes from the Gikuyu word for butterfly, after the mountain's profile.
