Safari summary

This trek combines two of the most scenic routes up Mt. Kenya.

This combination offers undeniably the most magnificent ascent route to the summit at Point Lenana Peak, 4985m.

This 5-day hiking allows you a comfortable hiking pace, giving you time to ascend the peak in a safe pace while acclimatizing to avoid altitude sickness.
Climbing Mount Kenya via Chogoria route is entirely camping. Accommodation on this route is in high altitude camping tents, fully provided with mattresses. On the first night we sleep at Lake Ellis camp.
