Day 1: pick up at the Mall to Sirimon Gate where you will meet the other team and also have hot lunch. After check in will start a 9kms hike from an altitude of 2650m to 3300m which is normally 3hrs. On the way there will be magical sceneries of the Sirimon Gorge, tropical and natural Mt.kenya forest and the Giant bamboos! It’s an easy day that ends at Old moses camp for hot soup and dinner (overnight)

Day 2: After an early breakfast, we commence a 7-8hours trek to Shipton’s camp (4,200 meters). Today’s trek is long and interesting but also a good test on individual fitness. You’ll ascent close to 900 meters going up the surreal Mackinder Valley with its strange vegetation of giant lobelia and groundsel, unique to equatorial African mountains. Here we stay at Shipton’s Hut (4,200 meters), just below the glaciers and jagged peaks of bare rock that surround the main summits.

Day 3: Leave at 3am up a steep stony quarry that cuts through a cliff clearing visible part towards lower Hall Tarns arriving point Lenana at 6:30am, taking about 3hrs. After the sunrise, descend down to Simba core tarn for breakfast.

After that we will do 2hrs hike to lake Michaelson which is the highest fishing lake on the mountain for hot lunch and exploration in the eve, this is where we spend our night and if interested do trout fishing. Lake Michaelson is One of the Best places to be in Mt Kenya having temple walls around you!

Day 4: Early Start from the lake down to roadhead which is about a 3hrs trek with very good views of Lake Ellis, Mugi hills, Ithangune , and Rutundu . Visit the Nithi falls and have lunch at roadhead, then countinue to Chogoria Anabas for Hot showers and small celebration party from a successful mountain trip!
