Route: The Siramon = Chagoria Traverse:
Climb to Mt Kenya’s highest Trekking Peak: Point Lenana at 4895m over 5 days. More beautiful and scenic than you can imagine, without the crowds of Kilimanjaro. A great ‘test’ to see if you are ready for Kili! Camp in a comfortable single tent with a private toilet, expert guides and amazing food for 5 days. Flying to Nairobi is 5 hours and easy on Kenya Airways. Land and drive directly to Nanyuki for overnight and for better acclimatization.
