2 Nights 3 Days Mount Kenya Summit: Sirimon-Chogoria Traverse

Our 2 Night 3 Days Mount Kenya Summit is your balance between availability and exploration. This is a mid-range offering considering the best manageable schedule for a Mounk Kenya hike. It happens in 3 days over a weekend. The hike starts at the Sirimon Gate and ends at the Chogoria Gate.

During the ascent, Mount Kenya’s peaks will welcome us. As we descend, some of the Mount Kenya lakes and tarns will greet us with panoramic views. Mount Kenya could never be better than when the ascent is gentle as the descent makes the exploration even more immersive. Join us on this High-Altitude Traverse hike and experience the thrill of achievement. Your adventure awaits!
