The area around the mountain is protected in the Mount Kenya National Park.The National Park is around 620 km².

Mt Kenya Climb - 6 days / 5 nights
Up to 6.5 hours / 15 miles per day.
ApproximateTrekking Distance: 97 kms

Sirimon route starts 15 km (9 miles) east around the Mount Kenya Ring Road from Nanyuki. The gate is 10 km (6 miles) further along the track, which can be walked or driven by four-wheel drives.
The track climbs up through the forest. On the north side of the mountain there is no bamboo zone, so the forest gradually turns into moorland covered with giant heather. The track ends at Old Moses Hut and becomes a path.

Chogoria route leads from Chogoria town up to the peaks circuit. The 32 km (20 miles) from the forest gate to the park gate are often done by vehicle, but it is also possible to walk. There is much wildlife in the forest, with safari ant columns crossing the track, monkeys in the trees, and the potential for seeing elephant, buffalo and leopard.
