3 Nights / 4 Days
The 4-day Mount Kenya hike via the Sirimon ascent and Chogoria descent offers a balanced adventure, combining moderate trekking conditions with breathtaking scenery. This route provides a gradual acclimatization through lush forests, alpine landscapes, and dramatic valleys.
The trek begins at Sirimon Gate, leading through dense cedar and podocarpus forests before opening into high-altitude moorlands. Hikers gradually ascend through Liki and Mackinder鈥檚 valleys, reaching Shipton鈥檚 Camp before a pre-dawn push to Point Lenana for a stunning sunrise. The descent via Chogoria offers a striking contrast, with views of Lake Michaelson, the Gorges Valley, and cascading waterfalls, making this an unforgettable experience for trekkers seeking both challenge and beauty.
