Mount Kenya Climbing Safaris
Sirimon Route - Mount Kenya Climbing & hiking
4 Days Mount Kenya Climb - Sirimon Route
Distance: 53 km | Difficulty: Moderate | Start/Finish: Nairobi
Summary
Much more scenic than Naromoru and it is on the drier side of the
mountain which offers some of the finest walking. Climb up through
forest into a wide ridge approach to the summit area. The route
starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is
adequate and the bunk house facilities are the best on this side of
the mountain.
Though Mount Kenya summit can be reached in 4 days as per the below
itinerary, we strongly recommend an overnight acclimatization at the
base in Nanyuki town. This can be arranged for at an extra fee.
