We ended up doing the full route which was an excellent climb although a little difficult for my 68 dad, excellent views and got to see some animals on the walk back down ( giraffes and zebras). Isaac our driver was very good and spoke to us about Nairobi and the surrounding area. Overall definitely recommend
