After breakfast at the camp we hike on towards the Sagana River Camp which will be at an altitude of 2980m. The hike, with lunch on the way, takes about 6 hours and leads through a dense bamboo forest. Just across the Sagana River we will find our fly camp already set up by the crew. During the rainy season the crossing of the river can be difficult, but our crew will get us safely across the river.

After a good night rest our walk continues through the bamboo forest to the heath and moor land. The Thego River camp at 3750m is our next destination. Lunch will be taken on the way. The hike takes about 6 hours and if lucky you may have some close encounter with some wild game on the way. After dinner, we climb early into our sleeping bags to get a good rest and escape the cold.

Our climb continues for about 3 hours to Lake Hohnel through beautiful tropical alpine vegetation, dominated by Seneca and Lobelia. At the scenic lake we stop for a lunch break enjoying a view of the clear waters. After another two hours we finally reach Mackinders Camp at 4250m in the Teleki Valley. Overnight will be at the Teleki Hut (Mackinders Camp) where we will take a good rest in the dormitories in preparation for the next days’ challenge of the Lenana Peak.

After an early morning breakfast at 4.00am, the hike takes us via a steep screed to the Austrian Hut at 4790m. Here we have a short break with a sip of hot tea and biscuits, before the final challenge on Point Lenana (4895m) via Lewis Glacier. After watching the Sunrise, and taking our summit photos, we descend on the northern side via Simba Cole to the Shiptons Camp (4200m) where lunch will be taken. Thereafter we continue down on the Sirimon route to the Old Moses Camp at 3400m. After dinner we will have a well-deserved rest after a very strenuous, but eventful day.
