Mount Kenya experience

5/5

I had a very good experience climbing Mount Kenya with this agency. Everything was well organized from start to finish. There was always plenty of food, and throughout the trek I felt well looked after by the whole team.

They were also very helpful with the logistics before the climb, arranging the rental of a sleeping bag and down jacket for me, and helping with some last-minute gear requests.

The team was friendly, reliable and supportive throughout the experience. I would recommend them to anyone planning to climb Mount Kenya.

Unforgettable Private Mt. Kenya Trek – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!

5/5

Equatorial Star Adventures is a phenomenal local operator based in Nairobi. I am incredibly glad I chose them for my solo trek! I booked a private 6-day itinerary on Mt. Kenya via the scenic Chogoria-Sirimon route, which included a technical climb attempt of Batian Peak.

From the initial booking inquiries to the final descent, the communication and organization were flawless. Duncan and his entire crew—the lead guide, the support porters, the specialized technical climbing guide, and the camp chef—were amazing. Traveling solo, I felt completely safe, welcomed, and supported every step of the way. It was nice to hear their stories about life on the mountain. Towards the end, I felt like I was with family.

The attention to detail was impressive. The tents were well-maintained, and the food was outstanding—warm, fresh, and highly nourishing after long hours on the trail. The team's genuine passion for the mountain shines through in everything they do.

While I ultimately did not summit Batian Peak this time due to the intense technical demands (a great reminder that I need more specialized training and the altitude is no joke!), the trek up to Point Lenana was breathtaking. The scenery along the Chogoria route is unmatched.

When I return to conquer Batian, Duncan is the only person I will call. I highly recommend Equatorial Star Adventures for anyone looking to explore Mt. Kenya. You will be in the best hands possible!

Thank you so much for this incredible experience, Duncan! It has been the highlight of my trip to Kenya!

Excellent Mount Kenya experience – 10/10!

5/5

I used Equitorial Star for my Mount Kenya hike and had an absolutely excellent experience. Duncan was incredibly professional, reliable, kind and patient. I had multiple changes and rescheduling requests, as well as adjustments to the itinerary, and he went above and beyond every time to make things work. His communication, flexibility and willingness to help were exceptional.

The hiking team were also fantastic. The guides were professional, experienced and genuinely caring. The food was good, the tents were pitched for us, and after long days of hiking they even brought us little treats like cookies and popcorn. They also provided warm water for us to wash our faces, which was such a thoughtful touch after a tiring day.

Everyone was so willing to help and made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Equitorial Star to anyone planning to hike Mount Kenya. Duncan and his team made a challenging adventure feel incredibly well organised and supported.

10/10 – I would absolutely use them again!

Excellent work

5/5

We just finished our 5D4N Mt Kenya hike today (21 Sep) organised by Duncan and his wonderful team. We started planning this trip in mid July and was in discussions with Duncan via WhatsApp since then. Duncan is quick in responding all my queries.
We started the hike on 17 Sep where Duncan picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi. After about 3 hours drive, we arrived at Chogoria town for lunch and met up with the crew members (our guide Patrick, our cook Juma, and five porters). Throughout the hike, our cook prepared more than sufficient food to ensure we have enough energy to complete our daily trek. Patrick also assisted my wife by carrying her day bag so that she can enjoy her hike with higher success of making to the summit. We made it to the summit on 20 September and the views up there were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend potential visitors planning a trip to climb Mt Kenya to contact Duncan.

Well organised and really helpful

5/5

Duncan's communication was on point, keeping me informed and answering all my questions. The porters, guides and chef were all really helpful, and they all had an amazing understanding of the nature on the mountain. The chef made some excellent food and was understanding of me being vegetarian and catered accordingly. The guides were brilliant, and answered any questions I had about the surrounding wildlife. Duncan was super helpful in dropping me back at the train station in Nairobi and picking me up from my hotel too. Overall, it was a great experience!
