Description

Embark on an exhilarating 3-day adventure climbing Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak. This trip offers an unforgettable experience filled with stunning landscapes, challenging trails, and breathtaking views. **Day 1**: Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to the Sirimon Gate, where you'll start your trek. The trail winds through lush montane forests, home to a variety of wildlife, including colobus monkeys and an array of bird species. As you ascend, the landscape transitions to moorlands, dotted with giant lobelias and groundsels. You'll reach Old Moses Camp, your first overnight stop, offering beautiful views of the surrounding valleys. **Day 2**: After a hearty breakfast, you'll continue your ascent to Shipton Camp. This day takes you through the dramatic Mackinder Valley, where you’ll be surrounded by towering cliffs and unique alpine vegetation. Keep your camera ready for stunning photo opportunities, as the valley is known for its picturesque scenery. By late afternoon, you'll arrive at Shipton Camp, located at the base of Mount Kenya's towering peaks. Here, you'll rest and acclimate, preparing for the final ascent. **Day 3**: The summit day begins early, with a pre-dawn trek to Point Lenana, the mountain’s third-highest peak. As you climb, the air grows thinner, but the sense of achievement drives you forward. Reaching the summit at sunrise, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views stretching from the Kenyan plains to the peaks of Kilimanjaro on clear days. After celebrating your achievement and taking in the views, you'll begin your descent back to Shipton Camp for a well-deserved breakfast. The trek continues down to Sirimon Gate, where you'll be picked up for your return journey to Nairobi. Throughout the trip, you'll be guided by experienced professionals, ensuring your safety and enhancing your understanding of the mountain's unique ecosystem. This 3-day Mt.
