Name: Mt Kenya Climbing Via Sirimon Route
Duration: 4 Days
Start: Nairobi at 7 AM
End: Nairobi at 4 PM
Much more scenic than Naromoru and it is on the drier side of the mountain which offers some of the finest walking. Climb up through forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is adequate and the bunk house facilities are the best on this side of the mountain.
Though Mount Kenya summit can be reached in 4 days as per the below itinerary, we strongly recommend an overnight acclimatization at the base in Nanyuki town. This can be arranged for at an extra fee.
The final night time ascent of Lenana can be as difficult as any ascent in East Africa. But the descent is the easiest compared to Ruwenzori and Kilimanjaro. This is the most likely climb for you to actually see the big game.
Transport to the mountain base is included from your Nairobi city hotel.
The bulk of the snow capped Mt. Kenya looms over the entire region of the central Kenya.
For hikers, point Lenana at 4,895 m is the ultimate destination.
This is accessed from different routes depending on availability of time, budget restrains and climbing experience. The views en-route, the physical exertion and the rough climbing experience combine to bring out a well-deserved sense of accomplishment to the climbers.
