After breakfast a 10km hike along a ridge, with spectacular views of Lake Michaelson in the Gorge Valley below takes us close to the Hall Tarns at 4000m. Here we take a lunch break before we tackle a steep descend to the Gorge Valley floor for a scenic camp night on the shores of Lake Michaelson. Dinner and overnight will be at the fly camp.

Accommodation: Fly Camp

Meal Plan: B  L D

Today’s hike is rather short. We hike along the Gorge Valley towards Point Lenana. The hike gets gradually steeper and finally we ascend a ridge and get to the Simba Tarn (4600m), our camp site for the night at the base of Point Lenana. We enjoy our dinner while marveling the spectacular views of Nelion and Batian, the main peaks of Mt.Kenya and Point Lenana our challenge for tomorrow.

After an early morning breakfast at 5.00am, the track will lead via a steep screed to the Simba Cole and finally through steep rocky path to the point Lenana. At sunrise we have made it. The rising sun tosses the Nelion and Bation in a golden light while the view over the plains below are spectacular. After the summit photos, we descend via Austrian Hut and Mackinders Camp (lunch) to the Metstation where our cars are waiting to take us to Nairobi.  We arrive Nairobi in the late evening.
