An unforgettable Mount Kenya experience. Tillmans Safaris truly exceptional!
5/5

From the very first exchange, we felt completely at ease. Communication with Charles, the director of Tillman Safaris, was excellent from start to finish — thoughtful, clear, and reassuring. He consistently made us feel that everything was under control and carefully planned. And that feeling proved absolutely right. From our pickup in Nairobi to the very last moments of the trek, everything was flawlessly organized and ran smoothly.
Tillmans Safaris is the ideal company for people who genuinely love the mountains — those who care about the experience itself, not just reaching a summit. What also mattered deeply to us is that this is a truly ethical company. The guides and porters are treated with real respect and fairness, and this is not just something said — it’s something you feel every day on the mountain. For us, that made the experience all the more meaningful.
The equipment provided was excellent: very warm sleeping bags, a solid tent that easily withstood a full night of rain, and high-quality walking poles. Everything felt reliable and well chosen, allowing us to focus fully on the beauty of the climb.
And then there is the team, who turned a great trek into an unforgettable one.
Leonard, our lead guide, was simply outstanding. He is kind, calm, deeply knowledgeable, and always smiling. He has that rare ability to make you feel both safe and inspired at the same time. His pacing was perfect, and thanks to his experience and attentiveness, altitude issues were minimal and we summited comfortably. He genuinely went above and beyond every single day.
Taylor, the chef, amazed us daily with generous, hearty, and delicious meals — far better than we ever expected on a mountain. On top of that, he was a joy to be around: warm, friendly, and always positive.
Nelson, Alan, and Jacob, our porters, were wonderful people and fantastic companions on the trail. Strong, kind, and full of good humor, they made the long days lighter and more joyful. By the end of the trek, it truly felt like we were climbing with friends — and we are proud to now call them exactly that.
A heartfelt recommendation: book the full 5-day trek from Chogoria to Sirimon. It makes a real difference for acclimatization, and the Chogoria Bandas, where you spend the first night, are absolutely magnificent — one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever slept in the mountains.
Without hesitation, this was the best trekking and climbing experience we’ve ever had. If you want an authentic, ethical, and deeply rewarding Mount Kenya experience, Tillman Safaris is the company to choose.
We also booked a 3-day safari in Samburu with Tillman, which was equally wonderful. Samburu turned out to be the perfect park to visit at that time of year, Sopa Lodge was excellent, and we saw an incredible number of animals — including a truly magnificent leopard. Our driver was also fantastic.
We are deeply grateful to the entire Tillmans team. If Mount Kenya is on your mind and you want an experience that is beautifully organized, genuinely human, and unforgettable, book with Tillmans Safaris. You will be in the very best hands.

5/5

Our experience with Tilman Safaris was wonderful – even before our arrival, Charles answered all our questions promptly. We were accompanied to Point Linnea on Mount Kenya by a team of five very friendly gentlemen, and the food was plentiful and delicious. Everything was well-prepared, and the welcome with hot drinks was very pleasant and helped us warm up after a rain shower. Even when last-minute changes were necessary, a good solution was found with great dedication. Highly recommended!

Nice hike, great weather, amazing food
3/5

I was surprised how big our team was and also our food was more than great. No problem at all with vegetarians. Our guide knew a lot about flowers and animals and was helpful. They lent us warm sleeping bags, so we weren't cold even at the highest altitudes. That was great, and our tent was waterproof and the mattresses were comfortable. I recommend bringing headache medicine with you because of the altitude.
But I would love to get more detailed list of things to carry with me. For example water filter would be nice to have because rivers and lakes as a water source are not safe enough for me. Also guide should have first aid kid with him not in the office and also weather forecast I think is important to check every day in mountains. Last but not least, I think that every company should carry a shovel for toilet needs. At every campsite, people go "in the bushes," and all campsites look accordingly. This is even the case around the lake from which drinking water is then taken. I think this needs to be changed.

Amazing!
5/5

“I couldn’t recommend them more! Everything—from communication to logistics—was incredibly smooth. Our trek on Mt. Kenya was fantastic. The whole team was warm, friendly, and great company. They shared lots of interesting information about the local flora and fauna, and the meals were both delicious and abundant. Even when I struggled with altitude sickness, they were exceptionally supportive and attentive. I’d absolutely book with them again!
