Trekking prices on our site are based on camping throughout (mountain tents are provided), unless you are using the Chogoria route for the ascent, in which case first night is at Meru Bandas and an optional night at the Austrian Hut is included in the advertised cost.
Optional upgrades at the mountain huts are available, particularly if you are using the Sirimon or Naro Moru routes (most other routes on Mount Kenya will involve wild camping) and the current costs for these upgrades are listed below.
If you descend the Chogoria route then you can add a final night on to the itinerary at Meru Bandas (this is very popular with trekkers descending the Chogoria route as the bandas are next to an open swamp where animals commonly come out of the forest to graze, particularly at dusk and dawn.
