DESCRIPTION

You will most likely be escorted by one or more Masai. They will expect you to pay them for using their land. I paid 500 shillings in 2011. I would not pay them more (though they will argue about it). Be friendly but firm. Access Drive to town of Ilbisil (south on the A104 to Tanzania). After the town, you will see a rock quarry on the right. There is as sign for a school at the entrance to the dirt road. Follow this road to a house about (500 meters). Park in the clearing and walk up the ridge along the Southern spine of the hill. Alternatively: From behind the town of Ilbisil there is a dirt road leading to the base of the mountain follow this until the end and hike-up. This route is best taken on days when the wind is predominently out of the N-NE. Rules none
