Mount Kenya Climbing: 5 Days 4 Nights In Sirimon – Out Naro Moru Route
Explore Tours
Naro Moru route is the quickest way to the base of the mountain and Pt. Lenana. It is also one of the steepest routes and extra care should be taken here to avoid problems with AMS. Walking up towards Mackinders Camp through the Teleki Valley offers superb views of the peaks of Batian and Nelion. A steep section known as the “vertical bog” is crossed around midway to Mackinders Hut and a stopover here is almost compulsory. The accommodations are good with bunkhouses at Met Station and Mackinder’s Camp.

Morning spent sorting and organising personal equipment for the mountain trek. After lunch we drive to the road head of the Naro Moru Track, to the Meteorological station.

A pre- dawn start is made to ensure a successful summit bid and to try to reach the summit in time for a clear view of the majestic scenery. After climbing Point Lenana we return to our base camp and then proceed down the gate and onward to Nanyuki for overnight stay in a hotel
After breakfast you leisurely drive back to Nairobi, arriving at around mid-day.
