A 6-day Trek on the Mount Kenya, by Sirimon route and Chogoria out
We were tree people in our group (57, 57 and 68 year-old). We have a very beautiful 6-day trek ont the Mount Kenya, through Mackinder valley and Chogoria route. But the trek was difficult due to acclimatization to the high altitude and it was physically demanding.
It is important to underline the crucial role of the discussion with the office before the trek which permitted a good choice of the good route.
Day 1 from Nairobi to Sirimon gate and then to Old Mosses camp (3300 m) ; Day 2 from Old Mosses camp to Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 3 : full day acclimatization at Shipton camp (4200 m) ; Day 4 : from Shipton camp to Austrian hut (4700 m) ; Day 5 : from Austrian hut to Lenana point, then going down to Chogoria bandas (3050 m) ; Day 6 : from Chogoria bandas to Chogoria town (in car) then to Nairobi. Departure at 11.50 pm to France.
Moreover, the all team (guide, cook, porters) was extremely performant and thoughtful in all circumstances.
Please, accept our gratitude.
