Overview

Experience a guided Mount Kenya trek from Nairobi, combining the scenic Sirimon ascent with the distinctive Naro Moru descent, a Point Lenana summit attempt, mountain hut accommodation, and two comfortable Nairobi nights.

Diverse landscapes: Trek through montane forest, bamboo, moorland, Afro-alpine terrain and lower forest.

Mountain accommodation: Stay at Old Moses Camp, Shipton’s Camp and Met Station Camp.

Expert support: Trek with a professional mountain guide, porters and trekking support crew.
