Day-by-Day Itinerary
- Day 1: Nairobi to Old Moses Camp (3,300m)

- Day 2: Old Moses Camp to Shipton’s Camp (4,200m)
Trek uphill through the Ontulili River valley and cross the high-altitude moorland, passing giant lobelias. This 6 to 7-hour hike (14 km) ends at Shipton’s Camp directly beneath the main peaks of Batian and Nelion.
- Day 3: Shipton’s Camp to Mackinder’s Camp (4,300m) via Point Lenana (4,985m)

- Day 4: Mackinder’s Camp to Met Station (3,050m)
A gentle 4-hour descent through the upper moorlands and the notorious “Vertical Bog” of Naro Moru leads into the dense heather and forest zones to the Met Station Camp for the night.

After an early morning breakfast, enjoy a pleasant 2-hour walk down to the Naro Moru Park Gate (2,600m). Meet your transport for the drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon.
