Early in the morning after breakfast, you shall be picked by our friendly guide to Nanyuki town. Lunch shall be served at one of the wonderful eating points in the town.

After breakfast, you shall continue your hike to Liki North camp at an altitude of 3900m. This is generally a short hike and it is basically meant for acclimatization. You shall spend the night at Liki North Camp.
Shipton Camp is normally the last destination before attempting the summit of Point Lenana. This is another relaxing day, and you won’t have to walk long distances. There are higher chances of reaching the summit because of the acclimatization that is involved during this journey. Normally, the body needs to rest and regain the needed energy to take on the climbing challenge. This is when taking short hikes like this is necessary. Upon arrival at Shipton Camp, you shall rest and plan for the summit hike the following day.
Early in the morning, you shall descend to the park gate of Naro Moru and later, you shall say bye to your climbing crew of mountain guides, cooks and porters and drive off to Nairobi to mark the end of this journey.
