6-Day Mt. Kenya Climb | Sirimon Route Summit Trek
Africa Mountain Climbing Adventure
Africa's second-highest mountain, conquered via its most scenic route. The Sirimon approach takes you through ever-changing altitude zones — dense bamboo forests alive with monkeys and birdlife, moorland heathlands carpeted in wildflowers, and the surreal alpine desert of giant lobelias and groundsels found nowhere else on Earth. Acclimatisation days at Shipton's Camp allow you to absorb the dramatic high-altitude scenery before the pre-dawn summit push to Point Lenana at 4,985 metres — rewarded with breathtaking views across glacial peaks and the vast Kenyan highlands stretching to the horizon. A bucket-list mountaineering adventure.
