Day 1

Nairobi to Met station to Mackinders Camp

Nairobi to Met station to Mackinders Camp

Your adventure begins with a 5:00 am pick-up from your Nairobi residence. Enjoy a scenic three-hour drive through Kenya’s fertile central highlands before arriving at the Narumoru Park Gate (2,400m). After registration, you’ll transfer by vehicle up to the Met Station (3,050m). From here, the trek begins. The trail winds through dense bamboo forests, opening into heather and alpine meadows alive with giant lobelias and senecios. Lunch will be served along the way as you continue the gradual but steady ascent. By late afternoon, you will arrive at Mackinder’s Camp (4,200m), dramatically set at the foot of Mount Kenya’s main peaks — Batian and Nelion. Dinner will be served in the mountain air before you retire early, ready for the summit attempt.

Day 2

Mackinders Camp to Point Lenana To Nairobi

Mackinders Camp to Point Lenana To Nairobi

At 3:00 am, after a hot drink and light snack, you set off under the stars for the final ascent. The climb is steep and challenging, winding over scree and rocky slopes, but the reward is beyond compare. By 6:30 am, you will stand on Point Lenana (4,985m), the third-highest peak of Mount Kenya, just as the sun rises over the African plains. After celebrating with photos and taking in the breathtaking 360° views, descend to Mackinder’s Camp for a hearty breakfast. Energized, you continue down to Met Station, where a warm lunch awaits. From there, you board your transfer vehicle for the return journey, arriving back in Nairobi in the late afternoon, with drop-off at your residence — bringing your two-day dash to Point Lenana to a triumphant close.
