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!
Accommodation: Shiptons Camp Bunk House
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.
