The journey

A four-day guided trek on Mount Kenya, ascending the Sirimon route and descending by Chogoria, with a pre-dawn climb to Point Lenana.

January is one of the two main dry windows on Mount Kenya. The trek passes through bamboo and moorland, past tarns and glacial valleys, and on the final morning climbs to Point Lenana at 4,985 metres, for sunrise over the mountain's peaks.

This is a physically demanding trek. Guests complete a short fitness and health questionnaire before we confirm a place, and the itinerary is subject to the guide's assessment of conditions.

Itinerary subject to weather, conditions and the lead guide's judgment.
