Our 2 Days Chogoria-Sirimon 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 opportunity to summit Mount Kenya in 2 days over a weekend.
This two-day trek up Mount Kenya starts at Mount Kenya Chogoria Gate and ends at the Sirimona Gate. As you ascend to the Lenana peak, you’ll be met with panoramic vistas, lakes, flora, and fauna as you challenge your limits.
Traverse rugged landscapes, navigate through mountain passes, and conquer the unknown as you challenge your mind to new heights. This will be a journey of personal growth, triumph, and reflection on new experiences. As you reach the summit, you will close this chapter and open the door to new horizons, ready to face whatever mountains and life have to offer.
Join us on this High-Altitude Traverse Hike and experience the thrill of achievement. Your adventure awaits!
