This morning you will leave Nairobi with public transport or private car to Nanyuki for lunch and picking porters. After lunch, you will proceed to Sirimon gate (2650m) where our trek start-up through magnificent montane forest, bamboo, and giant heather zone before reaching the high altitude moorland. This is a gentle trek that takes 3 - 4 hrs gaining an elevation of 650m. Our first camp (Judimere camp or Old Moses hut 3300m) for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, you will leave the camping area and follow the track uphill, forking right at the junction. After a water break, you continue on the track crossing Ontulili River before turning right contouring through the Moorland and crossing Liki North River and continue uphill to Mackinders Valley from where there are panoramic views up the valley towards Shipton. This camp is a surreal setting below the towering peaks and glaciers. The resident population is of Rock hyrax and sunbirds.

Kick-off at 03:00hrs to reach pt Lenana in time for the beautiful African sunrise. The climb starts on a frozen screen and continues on a rocky track with some very minor scrambling. The climb takes 3 -4 hrs and to add to the exhilaration, Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible from the horizon. Descend to Shipton's camp for full breakfast. After a short rest descend further to Judimere camp/ Old Moses hut for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, you will descend on a broad track through the bamboo to Sirimon gate where you will meet a tax for the transfer to Nanyuki town where you will connect to a shuttle van or private car back to Nairobi arriving by 1:00hrs.
