Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi - Old Moses Nanyuki

After breakfast, you will be picked up from your Nairobi hotel and drive approximately 4 hours to Nanyuki, where you’ll meet your mountain crew — including porters and cook. From there, continue by road to Sirimon Park Gate at 2,650 meters. After clearing with the park authorities, begin your trek through the forest accompanied by your support team to Old Moses Camp at 3,300 meters. Arrive by afternoon after a 3–4 hour walk.

After breakfast, begin your hike through the scenic moorlands, with views of alpine vegetation, high-altitude flowers, wildlife, and bird species. Trek up the Mackinders Valley to reach Shipton Camp at 4,200 meters, situated at the base of the peaks. The hike takes approximately 7 hours.

Start early with tea or coffee and begin your summit attempt by climbing through rocky scree terrain. After about 3 hours, you will reach Point Lenana at 4,985 meters just in time for sunrise and photography. Descend towards Mintos Camp, where you’ll have breakfast, then continue your hike down the stunning Chogoria Route. Enjoy panoramic views of the Gorges Valley as you head to Mt. Kenya Anabas Lodge (2,950 meters) for a hot shower, dinner, and overnight stay. This will be a long trek of 12–15 hours.

After an early breakfast, bid farewell to your mountain team. Walk for about 2 hours through the forest to meet your transfer vehicle at Chogoria Village. From there, drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon.

Nairobi Tour Package Reviews

Agent: Bush Mosaic Safaris

Frank • 3 months ago

Having done already many safaris im several countries in the past, we might be c (Read More)onsidered as more or less experienced safari tourists. Still, our experience with Bush Mosaic - Brenda, Alex and James - was above expectations. Might be because this was our first visit to Kenya… We did have a little over a week to see the beauty of Kenya. Brenda created a package for us to visit Masai Mara NP, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli NP with a private driver/guide (James!). Notably Masai Mara (because of all the animals!) and Amboseli (the back drop of the Kilimanjaro!) were amazing.
One minor point was that it involved a lot of driving (we did not do our map-hom (Read More)ework). Another was that we had not realised that in these parks it was not allowed to do walking safaris, as we were used in doing in parks in countries such as Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. For the rest: excellent work!

Agent: Donwel Tours

Madhumita • 10 months ago

From the very beginning, Christine and Judith from Donwel Tours were highly atte (Read More)ntive to what we were looking to get from our first ever trip to Kenya, and Africa, for that matter. We wanted to cover a lot of ground, and were going from one agency to another before we found Donwel as most agents couldn't quite squeeze everything we wanted into our itinerary. Judith and Christine however made it all possible. Good quality stays everywhere, regular communication through the trip to ensure we were ok and were getting what we wanted. Special shoutout to Teeman, our driver who absolutely fantastic, drove safely and ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trip, regularly coordinating with Christine. This is an excellent team and we would highly recommend their services.
Everything was perfect.

Agent: Wild Portraits Safaris

Anirudh • 11 months ago

I reached out to Wild Portraits via a safari service website that featured numer (Read More)ous tour operators. Among the competition, James stood out due to his exceptional patience, politeness, and genuine curiosity displayed during our initial phone calls. James swiftly emerged as the singular operator I wished to proceed with, and here’s why: - Having substantial on-ground experience from spending extensive time on the safaris himself, he adeptly crafted a honeymoon package that perfectly suited my wife and me. - He adeptly navigated our budget flexibilities and constraints to arrange an impressive array of delightful lodges and activities, focusing on maximising our day-to-day adventures, ensuring each day on safari and at the lodges offered a unique experience. - A skilled photographer himself, James's comprehensive knowledge of various reserves and animal behaviours provided him with a distinct advantage in predicting animal locations and optimal times for photography, whether capturing sunrises, sunsets, or other moments. - Our priority was to maximise game time and reserve experiences. James made certain our vehicle was ready, complete with packed hot breakfast boxes, for a prompt 6 AM departure every morning of the trip. - Remarkably patient, he addressed all my queries, irrespective of whether they seemed 'silly' or insightful—from 'what to wear' at safaris, potential places to explore, to the animals we might encounter. In summary, my wife and I enjoyed an extraordinary experience in Kenya, with Wild Portraits Safaris significantly enhancing the quality of that journey. We are eagerly anticipating more safaris and look forward to embarking on them with James and his team!
