Pick up in Nairobi in the morning and drive for 3 hours to Naro Moru, stop in Nanyuki briefly to meet with the guide as well as sort out all the equipment required for the trek. We proceed onto the Sirimon Track as far as the Mount Kenya National Park Gate. From here we do a 9 km light hike up to the Old Moses Camp (3300m) for overnight. This hike (2 to 3 hours) is essential for acclimatization and is also very interesting as you hike through four of the mountain vegetation belts – the tropical rain forest, bamboo jungle, rosewood and heather zones. These are also the areas where you are most likely to see animals.
