Unforgettable experience, customised to your expectations, high five to Sam and Maron 🩵
This was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Sam and Maron who made it possible. Despite peaking point Lenana was the main goal, what you get with this trekking is significantly more than this. Every detail of the trekking is well planned and taken care off, as well as customised to your own expectations. Pick up and drop off to your preference. You only need to think about having appropriate clothes for cold nights in the mountains (you can rent what you do not have; don’t be afraid to ask ahead because they’re really helpful even before your trekking starts). Guide Sam was really knowledgeable about the nature (plants and animals), we chatted about life, exchanging experience as well as left space to each other to have peaceful moments and being with our own thoughts. He also has thought about everything in advance and always found something extra in his backpack when needed. Even early morning hike to Lenana seemed easy with him. He’s really experienced and passionate about what he does. Chef Maron brought a 5-star hotel in the wild. I loved absolutely everything he prepared, and it’s even more valuable that he does so with limited equipment. I wouldn’t expect to get popcorn to snack in between main meals. I was worried about what kind of meals I would get, but you get a lot of veggies, fruits, meat, beans, ugali, porridge etc. The meals are balanced and well planned. The work they’re doing is absolutely stunning. I would recommend 110 %.

5 stars is not enough, outstanding feelings
On all the steps of our journey we were satisfied of the quality of the service, the accommodation, the meals, travel between the parks - everything was well organised. However the main point was the guide - he did the job perfectly, thanks to him we saw more than expected.

I will recomend 100%.
We had an incredible safari experience in Kenya thanks to our guide, Collins. From the very first day, it was clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, but also genuinely passionate about what he does.
Collins was always attentive, kind, and very professional with the whole group. He knew how to manage the group perfectly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and involved at all times. His knowledge of animals and the parks was impressive, and he was always happy to explain things in a clear and interesting way.
He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to go and when. Thanks to him, every game drive felt exciting and meaningful. Beyond his skills as a guide, he is also a very pleasant and approachable person, which made the entire experience even better.
Without a doubt, if I ever return to Kenya, I would want Collins to be my guide again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable safari experience.

Very happy to have chosen the Safari with Collins and had the oportunity to enjoy with him
We did a 6-day safari in Kenya with our guide Collins, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish.
We visited Masai Mara, which we completely fell in love with, then Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, and finally Amboseli. Thanks to Collins, we were able to see the Big Five very early on, and every single safari was exciting and full of unforgettable moments.
Collins always knew exactly where to go. He arrived at the best spots at the right time, and because of that we saw far more than we ever expected — including predators hunting, which was truly incredible to witness. His knowledge is outstanding: every question we asked, he had a clear and interesting explanation for. On top of that, he has an excellent eye for spotting animals, often seeing things we would have completely missed.
We enjoyed the experience so much that for the last part of the safari we decided to upgrade to a private safari with Collins, happily paying the extra cost — and it was absolutely worth it.
We highly recommend Collins to anyone traveling to Kenya. He made our safari unforgettable, and we would choose him again without hesitation.

We had an unforgettable experience thanks to our guide, Colling, who accompanied us on safaris through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. From the very first moment, he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful, always looking out for our well-being and safety.
Throughout the trip, he explained each place, the wildlife, and the environment with great detail and passion. Thanks to his extensive experience and professionalism, we were able to see an incredible number of animals and learn so much about them and the local culture. It's clear that he loves his job and knows the parks inside and out.
Without a doubt, we would repeat the experience and recommend Colling 100%. An exceptional guide who makes all the difference and makes the safari even more special.

Collins our guide was SIMPLY THE BEST. He was very knowledgeable, and went way beyond expectations.
We came on safari hoping to see perhaps three of the big 5. Collins, our guide, delivered all 5! He was amazing, worked hard beyond the allotted hours to deliver an unforgettable experience that I will treasure always.

I was amazed by the in depth knowledge and historical context he brought to the experience.
Fantastic experience, I was optimistic but super enhanced experience mainly down to the tour guide’s energy and knowledge if I’m 100% honest!

The tour operator with the best guides for Mount Kenya trips!!
We booked a 4-day Mount Kenya trekking from Sirimon gate to Chogoria gate. We are inexperienced hikers and never reached more than 3000m - so climbing up to 5000m seemed like a real challenge for us. Thanks to the best guides Jimmy and Eric and all the amazing other staff we managed to reach the summit in combination with a great time. Everything was organised very well and it is impressive how good food the chef could make above 4000m. The scenery’s at Mount Kenya are unique and extremely beautiful. We have learned so much about nature, hiking at altitude and in general about Kenya. Because of the high altitude we went up the mountain ‘pole pole’ (slow), with the pace set by Jimmy or Eric. Jimmy also helper us out with any problems that occured during the trip - painkilling spray for my knee pain, Medication for stomach problem and advice on Nausea.
All by all I would recommend anyone with OK fitness levels to give this wholesome experience a try.
