3-Day Mount Kenya Hiking via Sirimon down via Sirimon

After pick-up in Nairobi, you'll enjoy an afternoon drive to Nanyuki town, crossing the equator en route to the Sirimon Park gate (2660m). From the gate, you'll check in the park, then drive farther up through magnificent montane forest, bamboo, and giant heather zone before reaching the high altitude moorland and our first hut (Old Moses Camp, 3,300m). Your dinner and overnight stay will be at a private campsite. This is a gentle trek.

After breakfast, you'll follow the track uphill, forking right at the junction. After a water break, you will continue on the track crossing Ontulili River before turning right, contouring through the Moorland, and crossing Liki North River. You'll continue uphill to Mackinder's Valley, from where there are panoramic views up the valley towards the Shipton Camp. This camp is a surreal setting below the towering peaks and glaciers. The resident population is of rock hyrax and sunbirds.
