5 Day's Package Sirimon Out Chogoria
Central & Mount Kenya Circuit

Mount Kenya's most rewarding traverse, the dry Sirimon ascent, the lush Chogoria descent.
A hike to Mount Kenya, the second-highest peak in Africa, is a thrilling journey through diverse ecosystems and striking landscapes. Starting from Sirimon Gate, the trail takes you through lush forests filled with wildlife such as elephants and buffaloes. As you ascend, the scenery shifts from dense bamboo to open heathlands, and eventually to the high-altitude moorlands with unique flora including giant lobelias and senecios. This route supports diversification of Kenya's educational tourism product, promotes domestic consumption and appreciation of the natural environment, and educates visitors about mountain ecosystems.
