Mackinders Hike -Mt. Kenya

Mackinder is on one of the 3 main routes to Mt Kenya, the Sirimon route, passing through the Mount Kenya Park gate from the North West. It is ideal for those who want an easier and more gradual climb to Mt. Kenya and direct access to Point Lenana (3rd highest). Traditionally, hikers accessing the mountain on this route reach the Mackinders Valley on day 2. By covering it in one day, this hike is one of the toughest in our 2023 series.
