Overview

Geography

Mount Kenya is Africa’s second-highest peak. It is an ancient, extinct volcano.This is a 4 days Mt. Kenya Sirimon-Sirimon Hike. Mount Kenya straddles the equator about 193 km north-east of Nairobi and about 480 km from the Kenyan coast. Additionally it is one of East Africa’s breathtaking landscapes. The evolution and ecology of the afro-alpine flora are a superb illustration of ecological and biological processes.

Sorrounding Attractions

There are some attraction features near or at the base. Here you can opt to book some game drives and trips to these properties before or after the trek. They include Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve, Meru National Park as well as picturesque foothills and desert habitats with significant biodiversity in the transition zone between mountain ecosystems and semi-arid savanna grasslands.
Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club offers natural grandeur on 100 acres of lush gardens and forests with views of Mount Kenya. The Ol Pejeta Conservancy works to conserve wildlife, provide a sanctuary for great apes, and generate income through wildlife tourism.

Duration

A fast hike to Mount Kenya is recommended for well-acclimatized and energetic mountain hikers. It is a challenging climb to the top that follows simple trails and makes use of lodging bandas located along the route. However, tackling the peak on Day 3 and descending to the Sirimon road head on the same day will be challenging but doable.The route is much more scenic than Naro Moru route.

Weather

This 4 day Sirimon – Sirimon route hike is on the drier side of the mountain providing some of the best trekking trails. Climbing through the woodland to a large ridge leading to the summit. The route begins on the northwest side of the mountain, near Nanyuki Town. As a result, progress is satisfactory. Attempting the summit can be completed in four days hiking. Those with extra time can spend an extra night at Liki North Camp, located between Old Moses and Shipton camps at some additional cost
