7 Days Mt. Kenya Sirimon Route

$ 1,850

Price from $1,850 / person

OVERVIEW

The Sirimon Route can be combined with a decent of the Chogoria Route for best effect. Combining the Chogoria with the Sirimon Route is, in our opinion, the best way to experience Mount Kenya. Whilst a little more expensive than going up and down the same route, it's certainly worthwhile as you experience 2 very different sides of the mountain. We tend to find that you'll look forward to the downward journey far more than if you were covering the same ground twice - you have the same feeling of discovery as on the way up. 7 days 6 nights is recommended for Sirimon-Chogoria.
