About This Tour

Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you depart Nairobi in the early morning, the city's bustling streets giving way to the tranquility of the countryside. Your destination is Mount Kenya National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning scenery and rich biodiversity.

Upon arrival at the Siri Moni Gate, your 6-hour hike begins, offering a condensed yet exhilarating glimpse into the beauty of this majestic mountain. Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through rainforests alive with the chatter of black-and-white colobus monkeys and the rustle of Cape buffalos. Keep your eyes peeled for the colorful array of birdlife that calls this park home.

As you ascend, the landscape changes around you, transitioning from dense forests to towering bamboo groves. By noon, you'll reach the Meteorological Station, a perfect spot to pause and take in the awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountainside.
