Sirimon Route Tours & Trips

The five-day trip took me to another world. As I climbed the Sirmone, I first walked in the shade of the dry forest and the huge trees, there was a kind of silence as if the world had stopped. Arriving at Mackinder's Valley, I saw the night sky so clear that it seemed as if the stars could be caught by the hand. On the way to the summit in the morning, the body was tired but the mind was getting lighter. On the way down I stopped again and again to see the bamboo forest of Chogoria and the deep gorge of Gorges. The guides not only showed the way, but also told the story of the mountain. This experience is not just a mountain climb, but a new identity with oneself.

I climbed the Lenanan summit in January 2026. Thanks to the efficient and uncomplicated organization, the pleasant pace during the ascent, and the super delicious and rich catering, the Mount Kenya Climbing Tours team enabled me to have an unforgettable and communal experience in a breathtaking environment.

I can only recommend CKC Travels - John was super helpful organizing my Mount Kenya trekking trip, the most responsive company manager I encountered on the Kenyan market. He responded to all my messages quickly, and customized the tour to my requests. Michael as a mountain guide was also amazing - not only because he guided me successfully to Point Lenana, but he also shared his wide knowledge of Kenyan flora and fauna. He knows all the plants and birds of the mountains, and is a very kind and always cheerful guide. Steven, the cook was also wonderful, cooking everything carefully to make sure that my stomach was ok after a bad food poisoning before the tour in Nairobi. All in all wonderful experience, fully recommend the company in case you want to hike/climb Mt Kenya.
