2 Days Sirimon-Naro Moru Traverse - Mount Kenya

Our 2 Days Sirimon-Naro Moru Traverse – Mount Kenya is an experience of the Northwestern section of Mount Kenya. We crafted this to cater to your availability constraints and blend multiple routes to give the extra unique experience. If you are regularly active and healthy, here’s your chance if you are unavailable for multiple days on the mountain. Come on a 2-day hike to Mount Kenya Summit over a weekend.

This two-day trek up Mount Kenya starts at Mount Kenya Sirimon Gate and ends at the Naro Moru Gate. The Choice of the routes is due to the gentle slope the first day to shipton’s camp. This makes the notorious naro Moru route more manageable since we will be doing a descent.

Let’s also mention that this hike gives the best view of the Mount Kenya Peaks and a sight of all the valleys that extend from the top. Let’s climb gentler and descend under al the scenes. get the opportunity to tough the Lewis Glacier as we descend. This is one of the best spots for therapy on Mount Kenya.

Join us as we explore our potential through climbing.
