🗺️ Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi → Nanyuki (Base Preparation Day)

Depart Nairobi at 09:00 hrs and drive north toward Mount Kenya’s foothills, crossing the Equator en route. Overnight in Nanyuki allows your body to begin altitude adaptation gradually, while giving time for gear checks and rest.
Why this matters: Proper preparation significantly improves summit success and reduces fatigue.
Overnight: Lodge in Nanyuki
Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2: Nanyuki → Sirimon Route → Old Moses Camp (3,300 m)

After breakfast, drive to Sirimon Gate and begin your trek through montane forest and moorland to Old Moses Camp.
Why this matters: Sirimon’s gentle gradient is scientifically proven to be better for acclimatization than steeper routes.
Hiking Time: 3–4 hours
Overnight: Mountain hut
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3: Old Moses → Teleki Valley → Mackinder’s Camp (4,200 m)

Trek across wide alpine valleys with dramatic views of Batian and Nelion peaks.
Why this matters: Sleeping high but climbing slowly follows the “climb high, sleep low” principle for altitude safety.
Hiking Time: 4–6 hours
Overnight: Mackinder’s Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: Summit Day – Point Lenana → Naro Moru Route → Nanyuki

A pre-dawn ascent leads to Point Lenana for sunrise views. Descend via the faster Naro Moru route to exit the mountain.
Why this matters: Early summit timing avoids weather changes and maximizes visibility.
Overnight: Lodge in Nanyuki
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
