Our 2 Days 1 night Sirimon-Chogoria Traverse – Mount Kenya is your freedom from time constraints. We struggle to catch our schedules and balance work and personal time. If you have stayed fit, we are presenting this weekend’s opportunity to summit Mount Kenya in 2 days over a weekend.
This two-day trek up Mount Kenya starts at Mount Kenya Sirimon Gate and ends at the Chogoria Gate. As you ascend to the Lenana Peak, you’ll be met with panoramic vistas, lakes, flora, and fauna as you challenge your limits.
The beauty of the Sirimon Route is the gentle ascent to Point Lenana and the breathtaking landscapes near lakes along the Chogoria. You will enjoy the Chogoria route without pressure to complete your hike. These lakes and tarns feature the Harris Tarn, Hall Tarns, and Lake Michaelson.
Join us on this High-Altitude Traverse Hike and experience the thrill of achievement. Your adventure awaits!
