  5. 4 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Chogoria – Sirimon Route

Tour Overview

The 4-day Mt Kenya Climb Sirimon route is much more scenic than Naromoru and on the drier side of the mountain, making for some great walking. Climb through the forest onto a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route begins on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is ample and the bunkhouse amenities are among the best on this side of the mountain.

Although you can reach the summit of Mount Kenya in 4 days following the itinerary below, we highly recommend acclimatizing overnight at the base of Nanyuki town. This can be arranged for an additional fee.
