Mount Kenya Trek: 4–5 Day Guided Climb

Mount Kenya (5,199 m) is Kenya's roof and Africa's second-highest mountain. The summit pyramid offers four classic route combinations across two main ascent ridges, Sirimon and Naro Moru, typically descended via Chogoria for the most scenic return. Whether you choose the gentle 4-day Sirimon circuit or the more intensive 5-day Naro Moru–Chogoria traverse, every itinerary includes hut or tented accommodation, expert local guides, and the satisfaction of standing atop the jagged peaks of Point Lenana and Batian.
