About this safari
Private Trekking Tour
You’ll be driven to the start of the trek to meet your experienced mountain crew, who will take you to the top and safely back down again.
On this four-day trekking tour up Mt Kenya, you’ll enjoy beautiful landscapes and panoramic views along the Sirimon Route.
You hike through open heather and moorland before descending into the picturesque Mackinder’s Valley. Arriving at Shipton’s Base Camp, take in the stunning mountain panorama.
On day 3, a shorter but steeper ascent, passing Batian to your right, gets you to Point Lenana at 4895m, where the impressive views across Mt Kenya will open up below you.
You descend via the Chogoria Route with its gurgling streams and enchanting forest.
After your Mt Kenya climb, continue your wildlife safari or relax a few days on a tropical beach.
Please Note: This Mt Kenya trekking tour is operated by our trusted and long-term partner specialising in trekking expeditions.

Your transfer driver will meet you at your hotel in Nairobi. Once you have made it through the capital’s busy morning traffic, you will leave the city behind and drive past tea and rice farms towards Nanyuki.
After midday, you reach Sirimon Gate, where your trekking adventure begins. Hike along a good road through dense forest, which transforms into heather and moorland, dotted with Protea and other flowers. If you’re lucky, you can spot zebras and antelopes along the way.
About 3-4 hours into the climb, the route turns off right towards Old Moses Camp. At 3300 m, you can enjoy your first dinner and camping experience.
