Gain 740 meters on the ascent and begin to truly acclimatize. The forest and bamboo are home to hundreds of buffaloes, elephants, bushbucks, and a plethora of bird species. Hike a little higher, about 1 km from Old Moses Camp to 3,600 meters, to see two Mount Kenya peaks – Nelion and Batian – next to each other. After taking pictures, descend back to Old Moses Camp for a picnic lunch.
