Nairobi-Sirimoni gate-Old Moses camp

Leave Nairobi city exactly 7 am and head off to Nanyuki. Briefly stop in Nanyuki for breakfast and shopping then proceed to Sirimon Gate which will be the Starting point, (2650m ASL) From here you hike 9Km up to the Old Moses Camp (3300m).
This two to three hours hike is essential for acclimatization and is also very fascinating as you hike through the four of the mountain vegetation belts - the tropical rain forest, bamboo jungle, rose wood and heather zones. These are also the areas where you are most likely to see animals and more importantly the rarest species only found in Mount Kenya such as Mt Kenya Chameleon.
