Mt Kenya Ascent

We use basic mountain huts and refuges throughout this trip as we make our way to Point Lenana. Mountain Rock Lodge offers basic twin share rooms. The mountain huts used on the ascent are basic with shared facilities, often with multiple beds in each room. Each room may accommodate both female and male trekkers.
No bed linen is provided so you must bring your own sleeping bag. With regard to toilet facilities, Old Moses Camp and Shiptons camp have flush toilets. Mackinders Camp use pit latrines.

Lightweight clothing for the day time, as the sun can be quite strong. Bring warmer layers for the cooler evenings and early mornings, when temperatures can drop surprisingly due to the altitude a lot of Kenya sits at.

Just taking Sterling cash will be fine, and there is no need to change in US dollars. The local currency is the Kenyan Schilling, and you will be changing your money into this and spending with schillings only. Some services will accept dollars as payment, but it is not legal tender. It is best to change money at the airport in Nairobi and ATM machines are availabile there as well. Credit Cards are accepted at most points on the trips if you get stuck as well!

Yes, for British passport holders it is quite straightforward. The cost is $50. Other nationalities should check with the nearest embassy.
