4 Days - Foot Safari To MT KENYA - KENYA

This climb is for those mountaineers who have an adventurous spirit and want to ascend Pt. Lenana, (4,985m) in a leisurely fashion from a non-tourist route. The climber has a better chance of acclimatizing and getting fit for the attempt on Pt. Lenana.

A 4-day foot safari on Mt. Kenya typically involves trekking to Point Lenana (4,985m), Africa’s third-highest peak, via popular routes like Sirimon or Chogoria, offering diverse landscapes from rainforests to alpine zones, with nights spent in mountain huts or camps, culminating in an early morning summit push for sunrise views before returning to Nairobi. These tours, including guides, porters, meals, and transfers from Nairobi, are challenging but achievable for fit hikers, showcasing unique flora, fauna, and glaciers.
