  We're back home and recovered after a great trip to Africa. We had a great time! I would like to thank Daniel at Mount Kenya Climbing Company for setting up the wonderful trip to hike Mt Kenya, such a great and beautiful mountain.
  
  We had always wanted to Climb Mt Kenya and until you go, you can't really appreciate the magnitude of the area. We had Joseph as our guide and I can't say enough about what a great guide he was.
  
  He kept us safe the entire time and made sure we made it to the summit which we did on a beautiful sunrise. The porters were very, very nice people and food was much better than we had expected for a 5 day climb.
  
  We are very happy that we chose you to set up our trip and were very impressed with your guides and porters.That was an incredible experience!
  
  We will have great memories about this trip for the rest of our lives. Thanks again for getting us all squared away and setting up such a successful climb.

  My girlfriend and I completed a 5 day hike on Mount Kenya going up on Chogoria route and descent through Sirimon.
  
  Each of the trekking day was different and had varied memories. Mount Kenya itself is grandeur and Chogoria route is definitely very scenic, more than we had anticipated. The mountain isn’t a conical crater like the neighboring Kilimanjaro, but it is a factual peak having various ridges and gorges to cross before getting to the summit base at Lenana Peak.
  
  The key to a successful ascent of Mt Kenya is to take it laid-back during the first days and ensuring that you acclimatize to the altitude before attempting the final hike to the summit. Upon hitting Lenana Peak, it is quite a sense of great achievement standing on top the mountain. It is for sure a an amazing experience watching the sun rise over the African skies and with amazing views of Indian Ocean and Kilimanjaro peaks.
  
  We used the service of Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions directly and Daniel made all the arrangements for us. Everything was delivered as planned and at reasonable cost. Robin, the Mount Kenya guide was an excellent choice and an expert in helping out alongside the a team of porters and cook.
  
  Without the help of Robin, we wouldn’t have succeeded in reaching the summit. Daniel was an excellent planner and made all efforts in providing all the information we needed beforehand. Everything was as per the details provided and trust me that they know the mountain very well, providing you with the right info and the potential problems and solutions.
  
  For us, using Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions was a great experience.

  My friend and I made a 5 day hike up Mount Kenya with Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions. With no doubts, we had an amazing guide named Joseph that was exceptiona. The cook made great food and the porters were more than helpful, far much better than we had thought of at the start of the trek. The summit day was quite tough and thanks to our friendly guide who did everything possible to ensure we made it to the Lenana peak more easily. Hi encouragement was beyond imagination. The scenery is outstanding and the glorious sunrise on the summit dawn is a lifetime experience that will always remain with me. Mount Kenya Climbing Company organized this expedition so well and so hassle-free as per contract. They provided a clothing kit list that was particularly helpful and it is was good to have known well in advance that it got very cold! An excellent hike that defines an African adventure.

  We went on a 7 day safari in Kenya with the service of Mount Kenya Climbing Expeditions that we were satisfied with. We didn’t have any issues with the operator, starting from the initial emails, the tour and eventual airport drop off at the end of the trip. Daniel was very responsive and friendly too.
  
  The overall safari cost was quite reasonable despite the many customizations we made to the initial itinerary. We had our own expert tour guide named John, and also a private safari vehicle, all for the 4 of us John was beyond excellent, knowledgeable about the parks and the animals.
  
  Accommodation that we chose was to stay in a mix of tented camps and lodges, which we very much liked. All the stays were excellent and we had good food and comfort that we so dearly needed.
  
  It was an excellent and unforgettable safari experience that truly linger in our minds.
