Sample package — hotels, itinerary and prices to be confirmed with the operator.
Day by day
Day 1 Nairobi to Old Moses Camp
Morning pick-up in Nairobi, drive to the Sirimon gate (about 3.5 hours), park formalities, then a 3–4 hour walk through rainforest and bamboo to Old Moses Camp (3,300 m). Dinner and overnight in mountain huts.
Day 2 Old Moses to Shipton's Camp
A longer day — 6–7 hours across the moorland, following the Mackinder Valley past giant lobelias and groundsels to Shipton's Camp (4,200 m), beneath the peaks of Batian and Nelion.
Day 3 Summit day — Point Lenana
A pre-dawn start for the 3-hour climb to Point Lenana (4,985 m) for sunrise over the peaks and, on a clear day, Kilimanjaro on the horizon. Descend to Shipton's for breakfast, then continue down to Old Moses for the night.
Day 4 Descend & return to Nairobi
An easy 2–3 hour walk back to the Sirimon gate, then the drive home to Nairobi, arriving late afternoon.
