Tour Plan
Begin your adventure with a morning pick-up from Nairobi. Enjoy a scenic drive to Mt. Kenya and arrive at the luxurious Glamping Mount Kenya Lodge. Check-in, relish a hot lunch, and unwind as you prepare for your trek. In the evening, receive a comprehensive briefing about the upcoming trekking journey to ensure you're fully prepared.
Start your day with a transfer to the Sirimon Park Gate (2,650m) after breakfast. Enjoy lunch at the gate before embarking on a gentle trek through lush montane forests, bamboo thickets, and giant heather zones. Ascend to the high-altitude moorland, arriving at Old Moses Camp for dinner and an overnight stay. This trek takes about 3-4 hours and gains an elevation of 680m.
After breakfast, continue your trek uphill, turning right at the junction. Take a break at the Ontulili River and then contour through the moorland, crossing the Liki North River. Climb further into the Mackinders Valley, where panoramic views of the valley and Shipton Camp await. This surreal camp, set below towering peaks and glaciers, is home to rock hyrax and sunbirds. Enjoy dinner and overnight at Shipton Camp.
Spend the day acclimatizing at Shipton Camp. Opt for short walks or day hikes on the summit circuit, climbing to Oblong and Hausberg tarns, gaining an elevation of 370m. Return to camp for lunch and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. Climbing high and sleeping low is an excellent acclimatization strategy, so take the time to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
Begin your summit attempt at 3 AM to reach Point Lenana by sunrise. The climb starts on frozen scree and transitions to a rocky track with minor scrambling. With a full moon, you may not need a torch; otherwise, enjoy the breathtaking starlit sky. After 3-4 hours of climbing, you'll reach the summit, where Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible on the horizon. Descend to Mackinders Camp for a hearty breakfast before a 4-hour descent via Teleki's Valley to the Met Station for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, transfer back to Naro Moru, arriving around noon. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the swimming pool at Glamping Mount Kenya Lodge, enjoying a full board stay for one more night.
