5 Days Mt Kenya climb via Chogoria route is highly recommended and arguably the most magnificent ascent route to climb Mount Kenya to its summit.

This creative climb joins two of the most famous routes up Mt. Kenya, Sirimon and Chogoria, producing a remarkably diverse and spectacular trek. Sirimon coming off the west passes through the dry side of the mountain with its giant trees and rocky terrain, and the descent onto the Chogoria path is exactly different with its lush bamboo and highland forests.

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.

It is the driest route up the mountain and the walk beside the Gorges Valley truly spectacular. The descent by the Sirimon route takes one through some beautiful forest tracks and completes the traverse of the mountain.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain standing at 5,199m, poised magnificently on the equator. Her spectacular snow- capped peaks create a stunning backdrop all year- round, and are crowned to be the only snow- blessed point on the equator.
