विवरण

Embark on a 4-day hiking adventure to the top of Mount Kenya. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Kenya, including waterfalls and rivers, and spend the night in budget camping accommodation.
Embark on a 4-day trek to the summit of Mount Kenya, the second-highest mountain in Kenya. Admire the beautiful scenery of the mountain and its surrounding landscapes as you hike through the dense bamboo forest and camp at the Lake Ellis Campsite and Minto's Camp.

DAY 1: NAIROBI-MOUNT KENYA BANDAS
Depart Nairobi at 8:00 AM and drive through agricultural farmlands to the town of Chogoria and have lunch. Afterward, board your 4x4 vehicle and drive to the edge of the bamboo forest. Begin the 10 km trek to Mount Bandas through the dense bamboo forest. Have dinner and an overnight stay.

DAY 2: BANDAS – LAKE ELLIS CAMPSITE
After breakfast and porter's luggage sorting, head into the mountains at an easy and leisurely pace. A short walk across Ellis Lake offers beautiful views of Mugi, Ithanguni, and Giants billiard table. The foreground scenery and vegetation are particularly beautiful as you follow the river near the start of the road for about 3 km upstream. After lunch by the stream, walk up the left slope towards the camp, about 3,600 meters away from the tourist area.

DAY 3: LAKE ELLIS – MINTO'S CAMP
Have an early start and climb again on a secluded ridge for about 3 hours and join the usual Chogoria route sightseeing course at an altitude of about 4,100m. Great views across the gorge and back to Ithanguni and the Northern Moorlands. After lunch at a small stream crossing, walk for a further one hour to the Mintos Hut area at 4200m for a night's rest. Spend the afternoon relaxing at the camp, but the 10-minute walk to the 'temple' is well worth it. It is a cliff with a height of 150 meters, and the name comes from the fact that visitors look down at the edge of the cliff and look like they are praying. An early night is recommended as you are attempting the summit next day.

DAY 4: MINTO'S – POINT LENANA - OLD MOSES CAMP
The Dawn Summit attempt begins at 3:00 AM. Hike for about three hours up to Point Lenana (4985m), the hiker’s summit, arriving there in time to watch the African sunrise. Descend to Shipton camp for breakfast. After breakfast, begin a 5-hour descent via Mackinder`s valley to the Old Moses camp (3,300m). The descent is gentle and it offers ample time to enjoy fascinating scenery which includes the moorlands before reaching the camp.

DAY 5:

Old Moses Camp – Nairobi
After early morning breakfast, you will descend for 3 hours to the Sirimon Park Gate. The descent doesn’t take long. Congratulate yourself on the tremendous achievement of summiting Mount Kenya. Here you will catch your vehicle for the journey back to Nairobi and will arrive in the early evening. You will be dropped off at the hotel/residence/airport.
