Area first developed in 2018 with potential for more exploration and problems. Includes a few separate outcroppings. Includes a great variety of boulders, with some really high quality problems, from hard highballs to fun traverses. Not on MCK land so be respectful. Increasingly Big Fig Lightning boulder field is seeing some erosion and landslides, so be careful and update any boulders on thecrag that have now been changed as a result!
©Lukenya is owned by the Mountain Club of Kenya and entrance is free for members. Non-members have to pay for daily membership (KES400 for Kenyan citizens, KES800 for others, payable by Mpesa Paybill No. 880926, account: guest fee). No commercial groups are allowed without prior agreement from MCK. Some climbs are occasionally off-limits when eagles are nesting (in particular Eagle's Nest Face). If this is the case it is normally communicated on a notice in the sign-on book at the gate, through a climber Whatsapp group and on the relevant page on theCrag. There are many other wild animals that call Lukenya home, including a resident leopard, snakes, hyenas. In general, these will all stay well out of your way, but be aware at night and avoid confrontations with bigger grazers like giraffes or eland. This is a wild place, so treat it with respect, pack out any rubbish, and bury human waste at least 30 cm underground (bring a spade or trowel!).
©While driving up to the campsite, instead of taking the left turn off the main track to the campsite keep going along, and follow the top of the ridge as far as you can with the car. Best parking is at Big Fig Lightning, an obvious cluster of boulders where the track ends, with a huge fig tree on the edge (edit: as of March 2020 the fig tree had broken and fallen down, with marks from burning on the remaining trunk - lightning?!).
©Lukenya is mostly trad, with some specific sport crags. No bolting is allowed without special permission from the Mountain Club of Kenya - get in touch with them if you think you have spotted a sport route, think there should be an extra bolt on a climb, see some degraded equipment, etc. Avoid cutting down any vegetation beyond a few bush branches - if you think a particular tree poses a real danger to climbers please bring this to the attention of MCK. Don't harass any of the local, sometimes rare wildlife.
