Conquer Kenya’s Peak: Embark on the Mt Kenya Climb Naro Moru to Sirimon Route

Challenge yourself on a breathtaking ascent of Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, via the scenic Naro Moru to Sirimon route. This 4-day adventure offers stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife encounters, and the ultimate sense of accomplishment as you reach the summit, known as Point Lenana.

This is most popular of all the routes that lead up to the Mountain. It is the steepest and the fastest way up Mt Kenya and ascends the mountain from the west. The route is not particularly scenic but has some of the best tourist accommodations. Most climbers begin at the park gate, although it is possible to drive a vehicle as far as the Met station (3050 metres). Among the challenges in this route include the vertical bog and the extremely steep trail on loses gravel while going up.

  • Unforgettable Views: Capture breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Kenyan plains, distant peaks, and the vastness of the mountain itself. Witness sunrises casting golden hues on the landscape and sunsets painting the sky with vibrant colors.
  • Unique Wildlife Encounters: Keep your eyes peeled for diverse birdlife soaring through the skies, spot playful monkeys swinging through the trees, and encounter hyraxes scurrying across the rocks. The mountain ecosystem teems with life, adding to your adventure.
  • Sense of Accomplishment: Reaching Point Lenana (4,985m) will be a moment you’ll cherish forever. Celebrate your success with fellow climbers, soak in the panoramic views, and feel the pride of conquering this iconic peak.
