Day 1

After pick up from your hotel we drive to Nanyuki Town crossing the equator on route to the Sirimon Park gate. On arrival we begin our trek with 3 - 4 hours walking to Old Moses Camp (Judmeier) through a beautiful forest with East African Pencil Cedar trees, Poducarpus trees and the giant Hygenia trees.

Day 2

Today we trek from Old Moses to Shiptons Camp. This is about a 6 - 8 hour hike crossing Liki and Mackinders valleys, there is a great view of Tereri and Sendeo peaks and also a great view of Nanyuki town with its beautiful terrain. Shipton's camp also has an excellent setting with the north faces of Nelion and Batian peak.

Day 3

To increase your chances or reaching the peak we take a rest day at Shiptons Camp for better acclimatization. We can spend this day taking short scenic walks to higher elevations after which we descend back to camp.

Day 4

On day 4 we wake up at 3am to begin the 3-4 hour ascent to the summit. After watching the sun rise from Point Lenana we descend to Mintos hut for breakfast and a short reset before the last trek of the day to Mt Kenya Bandas Lodge where we will sleep for the night. Along the way there are some spectacular views down into the Gorges valley with Lake Michaelson and Vivienne falls, and across on the other side you can see Ithanguni peak, Rotundu peaks and the Giant Flat.

Day 5

About 6 - 8 hours, on dirt roads through a thick bamboo forest and tropical forest. The forest is really beautiful with chances of seeing wildlife and Columbus monkeys. After this we continue on to Nairobi arriving in the evening.
