How to book / the process
Mount Kenya (Sirimon–Chogoria) lists a permit as required: KWS park entry + certified guide. The legacy issuer field names Kenya Wildlife Service. Reservation on the record is “required”. The fee table above is the whole tariff this desk holds. Each row keeps its own issuer, source link, status, and the date that source was checked.
What the government or park issues is the row whose status is official and whose issuer is a public body. What an operator adds — a package day rate, a guide wage, a lodge deposit, a jeep — is not in that row unless the notes say so. The notes below mention an agency, operator, or guide. That sentence is the record; it is not a booking instruction from this desk.
The stored best season for the trail is Widely described drier Jan–Feb and Aug–Sep. Typical duration on the record is 6 days.A season window is not a permit quota. If the quota line names a lottery, a solo ban, or a closed month, that line is the restriction; the season string is only when the trail record says walking is usual.
Legal Notice No. 160 of 2025, Kenya Gazette Supplement 161, 22 Sep 2025, read 2026-10-15. Figures are per entry / 24 hours: non-resident USD 70, resident KSh 1,100, East African citizen KSh 800, African citizen USD 30. A qualified guide is still required. The earlier conservation-fee PDF was not the source of these figures.
Read the cost in the currency printed on the row. A muted dollar line, when present, is this desk's dated snapshot for the first amount in that string. It is not the price the issuer charges, and it is omitted when this snapshot has no rate for that currency. Confirm the live tariff on the issuer page linked from the row before you pay anyone.
