| An
early departure from Nairobi with a lunch stop
en-route to the park gate on the Sirimon trail.
From here we ascend across a magnificent forest
to Judmeier camp. This climb allows us to
acclimatise to the altitude and admire the
vegetation. Overnight at Judmeier Camp (3,350m) |
 |
| We
climb and pass over a ridge to the spectacular
Mackinders Valley, through rocks and groundsel.
After a 5-6 hour walk we arrive at Liki North
campsite (4,150m). The landscape is dramatic with
giant Lobelias all around and the towering peaks
ahead. Overnight at Liki north campsite. |
 |
| After
following a rocky strip where various species of
birds of prey nest, we trek to Shiptons Caves
(4,450m) with spectacular views of Hausbergs Col
(4,591m). These caves are dominated by the
northern slope of the Batian and Nelion peaks. Overnight at Shipton's campsite |
 |
| A
very early start up the northern ridge to reach
Point Lenana (4,985m) in time to see the sunrise
from the peak. On a clear day you may see Mt.
Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak- the descent
from the peak has a short break at Mackinder's
camp before continuing to the Met. Station for
lunch and then on to the park gate, where we meet
our vehicle for our return to Nairobi. Minimum guaranteed departure: 3 pax |
