This multi-day trek combines a steady ascent with a more varied and visually rewarding descent, giving you a well-rounded experience of Mount Kenya. Starting from Nairobi, the journey heads towards Nanyuki where preparations begin before moving onto the Sirimon route, known for its gradual climb and quieter trails. Over the following days, you’ll gain altitude at a manageable pace, passing through different landscapes while allowing your body time to adjust.
The highlight comes with an early morning summit attempt to Point Lenana, timed to reach the top at sunrise. After taking in the views, the route descends via Chogoria, offering a different side of the mountain with more open and dramatic terrain. The trip finishes back in Nairobi, with a clear structure that balances challenge, scenery, and recovery throughout.
Trips are delivered by a team with extensive first-hand experience across East Africa’s mountains, ensuring every climb is carefully planned and well supported. The focus is on creating a balanced experience that combines safety, proper acclimatisation, and an enjoyable pace, with knowledgeable guides leading each stage of the journey.
There is also a strong commitment to responsible travel, working with local crews and supporting conservation efforts within the region. Each trip is thoughtfully organised from start to finish, giving travellers confidence that every detail has been considered while still allowing for a personalised and flexible experience.
A full kit list will be provided after booking, but you should expect to bring warm layered clothing suitable for sub-zero temperatures, waterproof outerwear, and sturdy trekking boots. A good quality sleeping bag, gloves, hat, and sun protection are also essential due to changing weather conditions at altitude.
Trekking poles are recommended for stability, especially during descents, and a daypack is useful for carrying daily essentials while the main gear is handled by porters.
