Tour OverviewAbout this experience
A six-day Mount Kenya program for trekkers who want more than a direct summit approach. The route climbs from Sirimon, spends time around the high peaks on the summit circuit for added acclimatisation, then attempts Point Lenana before descending toward Old Moses or the Naromoru side.
