5 days Kamweti to Sirimon route(All Days on the mountain).The journey up the adventurous Kamweti route commences at Castle Forest Lodge on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. The trail up is fairly challenging: rough underfoot, with dense montane forest, lush stands of giant bamboo, muddy when wet, no huts and a forest track more used by wild animals than humans. At Mackinder's camp 4,300m you might, for the first time, meet other trekkers since Kamweti route connects with the more commonly used trails at the Teleki Valley en-route to the hiker's summit (Lenana peak – 4,985m).

The crew will set our overnight camps in the wild campsites or in the neighborhood of available cabins located along our trail. <<Detailed 5 days Kamweti Route Trekking Options Itinerary>> |
