5 Days Mount Kenya Climb
Program Overview
Enjoy a scenic journey with the 5-day Mount Kenya trek, which takes you through the Sirimon route and descends the magnificent Chogoria route. The Sirimon route is 15 km northeast of Nanyuki and has the most gradual incline among the three main routes heading to the peak, making it suitable for acclimatization. It only has a few steep areas; hence, it is considered the least challenging route. Chogoria is arguably the most scenic route. It has incredible features such as the spectacular Temple cliffs, the breathtaking Lake Ellis with amazing views of Mugi hills, the Giant's Billiards table, Lake Michaelson, Nithi Falls, and Gorges Valley. Join this incredible hike and discover the region's unique landscapes. The best time to climb Mount Kenya is during the dry months of January, February, late August, September, and October. Mount Kenya is a circular, large symmetrical volcano cone with a base diameter of about 12 km. It has three peaks: Batian (5,199 m), Nelion (5,188m), and Point Lenana (4,985m).
