6
Days Mount Kenya Climb Safari Sirimon Route, Naromoru Route Trek Mt Kenya
610 USD per Person
The route that we take up Mt Kenya has been designed
for optimum time on the mountain to acclimatise, as well as getting away
from the bulk of hikers. This less utilised route is very beautiful with
incredible views of the surrounding plains and small lakes, as well as
the immense peaks of Batian and Nelion.
This route offers a unique experience and surveys two of
the major valleys of Mt. Kenya. The Sirimon route up passes through rolling
hillsides covered with unique high elevation vegetation. Surviving in
the harsh temperature range of the equatorial highlands is not easy, and
these plants have adapted some very unique ways of ensuring their survival.
On the way out you will be offered some of the finest views of Mt. Kenya's
spectacular rocky peaks.
