Mount Ololokwe is one of the most beautiful scenery you will get in the Samburu National game reserve. You will see this mountain while you are still out of the park and even if your intent wasn’t to enter the park, this mountain will call you. Like most mountains, you will begin the hike very early in the morning with the intention to reach the summit of an altitude of about 2000 meters above sea level. The accommodation below this mountain is usually at the Sabache camp.
From the top of this mountain, you will see the Mathews ranges and the beautiful Nkadoru Murto rocks and watching the sun rise from here is a scenery you will forever cherish.
This mountain is not only a natural attraction among the Samburu land, it is also a pillar of major significance in the Samburu cultural heritage. As Samburu guides share their knowledge and make way to the top of this mountain, you will realize this mountain was once a sacred feature. It is also known as the sacred mountain to the people here.
Here are some important tips for your Mount Ololokwe Safari:
- Since you will be carrying everything to the summit either on your own or with the help of a donkey, pack light.
- Because the sun can be harsh, make sure you have a sufficient amount of water with you and remember to use sunscreen.
- At the top of the mountain, it can turn windy and chilly, so dress comfortably for the trek but bring warm clothes for the evening.
- Please let the camp staff know if you have any dietary requirements or preferences so that your dinner at the top of the mountain will meet your needs.
