This trek is an acclimatization booster. Unlike the normal itinerary up and down the Sirimon route, this trek includes an extra day at Mackinder’s Camp for acclimatization before the final ascent to the summit. It is a good choice for first time high altitude hikers and those arriving from low altitude regions. From Shipton's, you skirt the high peaks to the east, bypassing Kami and Two-tarn huts as you marvel at the splendid view of the rocky towers, tarns and suspended glaciers of the west face of Batian peak. The summit is attempted from Makinders camp in the Teleki valley and eventually we descend through the Sirimon.

Day 1: Nairobi

We depart from Nairobi at 0600hrs (latest) for a road transfer. We arrive in Nanyuki at 1030hrs where we shall have early lunch. At 1130 hrs we shall depart for the Sirimon Park gate. Our Mountain trek starts from this point after a few formalities at the Gate, an easy trek in the afternoon to help acclimatization. Overnight will be at Old mosses (3300m) in the high altitude mountain cabins. By the end of the day we will have done 5 hours of walking.

Day 2: Mt. Kenya

The day starts at 00700 Hrs. By the end of this day we shall have done about 8 hrs of walking (Leisurely). This will be a true taste of patience, endurance & determination. Ascend the Sirimon Track to Likii North Valley, in this beautiful little valley below the subsidiary peaks of Teleki and Sendeyo, two ancient parasitic vents of the main peaks. (3990m).Climb out of the North Valley and into the Mackinder’s Valley, one of the broadest valleys on the mountain, with many giant groundsels. Camp at Shimptons Cabins the of the Mackinder's Valley, just below the main peaks of Batian and Nelion (4,300m).

Day 3: Mt. Kenya

This day shall be spent relaxing at the base camp as we acclimatize. You shall explore the other lower peaks.

Day 4: Mt. Kenya

The day starts at 0200hrs. We start early so that we can reach the Peak at Sunrise. Alpine ascent to the highest peak, Pt. Lenana (4985m). En route up the north face little used by tourists. Four hours of stiff walking to the summit. This will be the most challenging bit of the Mt Trek and will require a strong mind to reach the summit. At about 0730hrs we shall start the descend back to Shimptons camp. The rest of the day shall be spent resting at the camp having conquered Mt Kenya (Pt Lenana).

Day 5: Mt. Kenya-Nairobi

The day starts at 0800hrs. We shall leave Shimptons camp and start our 4 Hrs walk out of the Park. We shall have a stop over at Old Moses where we shall have lunch. We shall be met by our van at the gate and head back home with a stop over at Nanyuki.
