5 Days Mount Kenya Trekking Through Sirimoni-Chogoria Route

By Gracepatt Ecotours Kenya
What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
This creative climb joins two of the most scenic routes up Mount Kenya, Sirimon and Chogoria, producing a remarkably diverse and spectacular trek. Sirimon coming off the west of Mount Kenya passes through the dry side of the mountain with its giant trees and rocky terrain, and the descent onto the Chogoria path is exactly different with its lush bamboo and highland forests. The final night time ascent of Point  Lenana can be as difficult as any ascent in East Africa, but the rest of the trek is generally considered easier than either Kilimanjaro or the Rwenzoris, and this is the most likely climb for actually seeing big game. Accommodation on this hike is in mountain huts.  Nonetheless, if you prefer to camp you can do so on all nights on the mountain.

          Great day in Amboseli National Park
          I had a great day in the Amboseli National Park. The guide - John was wonderful in spotting the animals. Communication throughout was great and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone (despite of a long day..it's totally worth it!)

          Nice day
          Our guide was Peter. He did a good job. My travel companion and I thoroughly enjoyed feeding the giraffes & petting the baby elephants. We didn’t see the rhinos. The morning rush hour traffic was awful. This led to us having to hurry to leave the giraffe center so there was no time to look around the gift shop. I left my sandal shoes in one of the cars and Peter went back to get them. Bead factory was nice. We’re all about supporting women! Welcome song and dance was fun! However I think it’d be nice if they provided to option to paint or make your own beads/ jewelry. I had a whole blast at the Bomas dancing with the dancers! The Bomas are truly not to be missed.

          Recommended combination trip to Kenya and Tanzania
          I have just finished the first part of my tour through Kenya and Tanzania (February 2025). It was a very well organized tour to the Masai Mara, to Lake Nakuru and from there to Amboseli National Park. I would particularly like to highlight the beautifully located Amboseli Sopa Lodge, the very friendly hotel staff throughout the trip, and my very good driver Martin. He was not only a very careful and good driver but also a really good animal spotter. This part of the tour is highly recommended and I am looking forward to the second part.

          Excellent tour with bureaucracy.
          Steven our guide was very good. The extra $45 fee per person to get into the National Park should be more prominently mentioned in the tour description as I didn’t bring that much cash with me. That should somehow be put in the tour price. Also, tourist tip, if you don’t use WhatsApp you may miss communication with your guide.

          I had the best time seeing the variety of wildlife with my tour guide John. He was super knowledgeable and warm. I highly recommend this tour!

          What a day!
          Absolutely amazing day at the National Park with Martin! We saw all the ‘big’ animals that were in the park. Martin was so good about stopping and giving us time to take photos. We had lunch at a cute spot and also did the bead factory, baby elephant orphanage, and the giraffe center. Martin made sure we were comfortable at each location and even took photos of myself and my friend as we fed the giraffes! 10/10 would recommend this tour with Martin!

          This tour is an excellent way to see 4 of Nairobi's absolute treasures. Highly recommend: in particular the Giraffe Center and Elephant Sanctuary. Be prepared to be amazed!

          Giraffes, elephants, beads and Bomas.
          The giraffes and elephants were such an awesome experience. Our guide Stephen was great and willingly volunteered to take pictures of my friend and me together. I now want to adopt an elephant! The lunch spot was lovely. The beads, while i wanted to support them, was too much of the same thing and I ended up buying very little. The welcome dance was great though. Bomas was good.

          An amazing way to see the best of Nairobi in one day!Best day tour filled with wildlife and Kenyan hospitality & culture
          Wow what a sensational tour! If you have a day in Nairobi and want to experience a mix of wildlife and culture, book now! Stephen our guide was absolutely brilliant. There were just 4 people in our group. He made sure we were the first to the Giraffes to feed them before the crowds, he ensured we had the best spot to view and photograph the elephants at the orphanage. During these visits he took great photographs to ensure our day was captured on film. It was my husband’s birthday and Stephen secretly arranged a cake for him.. The ladies at the Kobe bead factory ensured that the celebration for my husband’s birthday was done in true Kenyan style. Dancing and singing “Happy Birthday”. The dancers at the Bomas of Kenya were great too.. A full day of animals, culture and fun.. Made possible by our wonderful driver and guide!

          Peter was GREAT! Great tours!
          We had a great tour! Peter was a fantastic guide. Besides going to both sanctuaries (my husband liked the elephant one the most; I liked the giraffe one the most), he helped us with finding a bank, taking us to a souvenir place and taking us to Carnivore, the restaurant. The van was clean. Peter was very kind, gracious and helpful. I would go with this tour company again. Ask for Peter!

        I went to Kenya in March 2018 for five weeks, alone, and Grace and Partick organized everything for me. Everything worked out wonderfully, I felt completely safe and welcome all the time. Lumo, 50 000 hectare conservation area is perfect for someone who really wants to dive deep in African wildlife and do it with low budged. Safaris with game rangers are gorgeous, accommodation is moderate, people friendly and welcoming. If you are planning on volunteering you can also book volunteering straight from Lumo. However don't expect to do much in work in Lumo, just participating game drives is what you mainly do. In Mt Kenya I had my own guide and cook, it was amazing five days. I really recommend both experiences. Grace, Patrick and all their employees, I met Steven and Kevin, were wonderful and made my first trip to Kenya safe and memorable.
