After a few hours of hiking, we'll reach the iconic Shipton's Camp at an impressive altitude of 4236 meters above sea level. Take a moment to catch your breath and soak in the awe-inspiring scenery. The camp is nestled amidst rocky terrain, offering panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.

Once we've settled in, it's time to refuel with a hot coffee or tea and some snacks prepared by our expert camp chef. Enjoy a hearty meal while basking in the tranquility of the mountains.

In the afternoon, you'll have the opportunity to explore the camp's surroundings and engage in activities like bird watching or simply relaxing in the serene atmosphere. Keep your camera handy, as the golden hour paints the landscape in a magical glow.

As the sun sets behind the mountains, we'll gather around a cozy bonfire for some storytelling and stargazing over dinner. The clear mountain air and lack of light pollution make for a perfect stargazing experience.

After a restful night's sleep in comfortable mountain tents, wake up to a stunning sunrise and a hearty breakfast. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature at its finest.

Today will be an acclimatization day at Shipton's Camp. You can choose to rest or take a day hike to explore the surrounding area, such as the Kami Hut or the Hausberg Tarn.

You will wake up early in the morning (around 2am) for the summit attempt. The hike to the summit (Point Lenana, 4,985m) takes approximately 4-5 hours and is a challenging ascent. You will arrive at the summit in time for sunrise and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. After taking photos and enjoying the views, you will descend back for lunch and a well-deserved rest. Proceed with the trek back through Chogoria route.

After a heavy breakfast we begin the descent from the Bandas to Chogoria gate which takes around 1-2 hours and passes through the scenic moorland and rainforest. Once you reach the gate, you will be driven back to Nairobi where the trip ends.
