Day 2: Met Station – Mackinder’s Camp
After breakfast, continue your hike as you leave the forest zone behind. The landscape changes into moorland with open views.

Continue hiking to Mackinder’s Camp (4,300m). Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
Day 3: Mackinder’s – Shipton’s Camp

Day 4: Shipton’s – Point Lenana – Old Moses Camp
Wake up early at around 3:00 am for the summit attempt. Begin the climb to Point Lenana under the early morning sky.

Descend back to Shipton’s Camp for breakfast, then continue down to Old Moses Camp. Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
Day 5: Old Moses – Sirimon Gate – Nairobi
After breakfast, begin your descent through moorland and forest trails toward Sirimon Gate. The walk is gentle and relaxing.
