Day 1

Day 1: Nairobi to Sirimon Gate to Old Old Moses Camp 3300 M

We'll depart Nairobi early in the morning, filled with excitement for our Mount Kenya climb adventure. Our journey takes us through the scenic Kenyan countryside for about 3 to 4 hours, offering glimpses of local life. After arriving at Sirimon Gate, we'll meet our experienced mountain guides. They'll provide a safety briefing and welcome the team to Mount Kenya. We then embark on our ascent, gradually gaining altitude through the lush forest. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and the sounds of nature and birds of Mount Kenya as we make our way toward Judmaier Camp. This afternoon, we'll settle into Old Moses camp and enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by our skilled camp crew.
Day 2

Hike from Judmaier Camp to Shipton's Camp, acclimatize to the altitude.

Today, we'll continue our ascent toward Shipton's Camp. The trail winds through diverse landscapes, valleys, and open moorlands. We'll encounter unique flora and fauna along the way. You can also expect to see unique wildlife like rock hyrax and giant lobelia plants along the way, including giant heather, and perhaps even spot some colobus monkeys. The altitude gradually increases, so we'll take frequent breaks to hydrate and acclimatize. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the stunning scenery before reaching Shipton's Camp. This afternoon, we'll relax at camp, enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. Our guides will provide valuable tips on altitude sickness prevention and help us prepare for the summit attempt tomorrow.
Day 3

Summit Day! Ascend to Point Lenana, enjoy panoramic views, and descend to Mintos Hut.

Today is the day we've been training for! We'll embark on our summit attempt early in the morning, aiming to reach Point Lenana, the second-highest peak in Africa. The trail is steep and challenging, but the reward is breathtaking. We'll ascend through a lunar-like landscape with volcanic rock formations and stunning views at every turn. Reaching the summit is an incredible achievement, and we'll savor the moment, taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. After celebrating our success, we'll begin our descent, stopping at Mintos Hut for a well-deserved rest and a hearty breakfast meal. The Tour Proceeds to Lake Ellis or Road End Camp after breakfast.


Day 4: Descend to Chogoria Gate and return to Nairobi.


Today, we'll begin our descent, following a different route down the mountain. The Chogoria route offers a unique perspective and a chance to experience a different part of Mount Kenya. We'll enjoy the changing scenery as we descend through lush forests and across vibrant meadows. At the Chogoria Gate, we'll celebrate our successful climb with a delicious farewell lunch. Afterward, we'll begin our journey back to Nairobi, reflecting on the incredible memories we've created on this unforgettable adventure.
