4 Days Mt. Kenya Climbing

Depart from Nairobi in the morning and drive towards Nanyuki town for a brief acclimatization stop and lunch. Continue to the Sirimon Park Gate. After registration, begin a 3-hour trek through the lush tropical forest and bamboo zones. Arrive at Old Moses Camp (3,300m) for dinner and overnight stay.

A steady 6-7 hour trek across the moorland landscapes. You will cross the Ontulili and Liki North rivers before entering the iconic Mackinder’s Valley. This route offers the best views of the main peaks (Batian & Nelion). Reach Shipton’s Camp (4,200m) for dinner and rest before the summit push.

An early wake-up call at 3:00 AM for the final ascent. Reach Point Lenana (4,985m) as the sun rises over the horizon—a truly magical experience. After enjoying the views and taking photos, descend back to Shipton’s for a warm breakfast, and continue down to Old Moses Camp for your final night.

After breakfast, enjoy a final 2-hour gentle descent through the forest to the Sirimon Gate. Meet your driver for the transfer back to Nanyuki for lunch, followed by the return trip to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon.
