Mt. Kenya Sirimon Out Chogoria
Tour Summary/ Features:
On this Mount Kenya climbing experience, you
ascend via the dry and little used Sirimon
Trail and descend on the scenic Chogoria
Trail. You reach point Lenana (4985 m), the
highest point accessible to walkers, and
return to base in 5 days. Mount Kenya is
Africa’s second highest mountain.
Above the habitable altitude, you find a
rainforest zone, abundant with many tree
species and there is some wildlife too.
Further up is open moorland, and beyond is
the snow line where vegetation is sparse.
Finding snow on the equator was a great
surprise for the first Europeans to get to
East Africa.
