Things to consider
Point Lenana is nearly 5,000 m; acclimatisation matters.
Warm, waterproof clothing and a mountain sleeping bag are essential.
Naro Moru is the most direct route, Sirimon is drier and Chogoria is known for its lakes and gorges. A Sirimon–Chogoria traverse shows both sides.
January to February and June to October are usually the driest trekking months.
Transport to the mountain, park, hut or camping fees, a mountain guide, porters, a cook and meals on the mountain.
Useful answers
Point Lenana is lower than Uhuru Peak, but both are serious treks at altitude. Read our comparison guide.
Four days suits fit trekkers; five days adds an acclimatisation day that makes summit morning more comfortable.
Our published prices range from USD 560 to USD 750 per person, depending on the route and length. Your quote confirms the price for your dates.
No. Point Lenana (4,985 m) is a trekking summit; the higher peaks, Batian and Nelion, are technical climbs we do not offer.
