Detailed Mt Kenya Climb:

Day 1.Sirimon Gate to Old Moses Camp Old Moses Camp
This route firstly takes us up through beautiful section of Pencil Cedar and Podocarpus tree forest, before pushing out onto heath land where we may well spot one of the areas elephants – African climbing and trekking really is different from any other continent! slowly to acclimatise to the altitude and avoid sickness. Looking south from the final stop you’ll see the highest peaks of Batian and Nelion, just to the right of Terere and Sendeo – it’s easy to confuse them on cloudy days.Accommodation: Old Moses Camp

Day 2 Old Moses Camp to Shiptons Camp Shiptons Camp
A long day takes us to the base of the volcanic plug that makes up the rocky peaks of Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana. As we trek higher, the vegetation changes to alpine moorland grass with small flowering plants and the remarkable giant lobelias and senecios. We’ll pass Shiptons Caves, a former hangout of the Mau Mau in their rebellion against white settlers in the 1950s. If we’re lucky today’s wildlife ‘spot’ may be a leopard – they’ve been observed up to 4,500m!

Day 3 Shiptons Camp acclimatisation Shiptons Camp
Camera at the ready! Today has superb views of the peaks and hyrax posing on the rocks - grizzled mountaineering veterans claim the Summit Circuit Path is some of the finest trekking in East Africa. Try to get a good, strength-reviving sleep, tomorrow’s our assault on Point Lenana.
Accommodation: Shiptons Camp Bunk House

Day 4 Shiptons Camp to Pt Lenana to Old Moses Camp Old Moses Camp
A dark 3am start puts us back onto the Summit Circuit Path, enveloped by tarns, glaciers, ice carved rock and seriously steep valleys. Our target is Pt Lenana for a spectacular sunrise celebration with astounding views. West across the Lewis glacier the main face of Nelion glows orange in the dawn sun with the Abedare Ranges in the distance, while the sheer cliffs of The Temple lie to the north and, possibly, on a very clear day! Mt Kilimanjaro, 300km to the south. After a triumphant cup of tea next to the large metal cross with its Latin inscription – a gift from the pope in the 1930s – we descend to Old Moses Camp for a well-earned rest.
