Day 2 is built around Vertical Bog and Afro-alpine moorland. Trek through the famous 'Vertical Bog' — a challenging section of waterlogged moorland that tests your balance and waterproof gear. Despite its difficulty, the Vertical Bog is surrounded by striking scenery with giant heathers and the dramatic twin peaks of Mount Kenya towering above. Travel onward across Afro-alpine moorland to Mackinder's Camp beneath the peaks.
