A 4 Days /3 nights Mount Kenya trek route which is more scenic than Naromoru and it is on the dry side of mountain which offers some of the finest walking.

Day 1: Nairobi – Sirimon gate - Old Moses Camp

Here we stay at Shipton's hut (4236m), just below the glaciers and jagged peaks of bare rock that surround the main summits. {B, L, D}
