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 of $50
per person. Mount Kenya Trekking: Sirimon
Route.
Why book this
Sirimon route? Sirimon route is easier,scenic
and shorter with 95% summit success rate.Four
