Ololokwe (2000m) is located to the North East of Laikipia, in Samburu District. Panoramic vistas stretch across the arid plains to Mount Kenya and the Mathews range. The summit of Ololokwe has high altitude mist forest with giant cycads and superb bird life including Kenya’s largest nesting colony of Ruppell’s vultures.
Plan

Leave Nairobi on Friday at 12 noon (no later) heading to Ololokwe base camp. (>5h). Pitch camp and stay the night. Next day, hike with guide (>3h) to the camp site on top, pitch, leave our gear and continue to the peak rewarding ourselves with the stunning view. After the night at the camp we return down Sunday and drive back to Nairobi (possibly including a lunch stop at Trout Tree restaurant near Naro Moro). 
Costs

Conservation fees: Citizen/Residents – Ksh. 1,600 per person per night, Non-residents – Ksh 3,200 per person per day.
Camping fees: Citizen/Residents: Ksh 800, Non-Residents: Ksh.1,600.
Those are the two fees that need to be paid cash.
There will be additional costs, food (if we share) and fuel (if car pooling). These fees do not include any tips you may wish to give the guide. We can arrange porters if you wish and will get a quote for that later, however as it’s only one night camping away from the car, the load shouldn’t be too excessive for each person to carry. They will also provide an armed game scout for security and there will be a guard to watch over the cars.
Bring tent, sleeping bag/mat, water (for drinking only, cooking and washing will be provided), food and trail-mix. Also sunscreen, hat and camera. Also bring proof of residency.
Meeting point will be announced once numbers are known.
Deadline for confirmation is Friday November 5th 2010.
