Safe and well taken care of. Very Basic but wonderful
Sweet, calm and caring. It’s fisically very challenging and nothing fancy. You have to be determined and fit but wow what a nice experience

I had an excellent hike in Aberdares NP, the crew took good care of me at all time.
I booked online from Norway and the communication was excellent. Everything went as planned. The pickup in Nairobi, luggage store, the hike itself and drop off at friends in Muhoti was preformed as planned. The crew was excellent company during the hike (I was the only client and could easily felt lonely) and took very good care of me. I can recommend Archtreksafaris for others.

Fun, unforgettable trips
Arch Trek never disappoints. I’ve done 2 trips with them and what I received was nothing short of professional, affordable and fun. I’ve had 2 wonderful and fantastic experiences with this company and I’d encourage others to book trips with them. Thank you Arch Trek and see you soon for a 3rd trip.
Magical Experience
I knew Arch Treks Safaris through a friend who recommended for their 5 stars services. The trip was awesome and everything went beyond my expectations. From guides, cooks and potters these guys are good in work organization, team work and very polite guys. If you need a magical experience of your life try Arch Treks Safaris and you will be happy.

Legit local organizer who will make your money count
I was referred to Arch Treks and Safaris by my Kilimanjaro organizer. I'd already requested quotes from at least three other organizers for an 11 day private safari. Arch Trek came in well below what the other groups were quoting and was able to continue to work with me to adjust my itinerary after I was several days into my Safari and had a better idea of what I was interested in. They were able to secure me an amazing driver and ridiculously nice accommodations for a very affordable price (given it was a solo private safari).
Couple of key points when thinking about who to select:
- Local, meaning money stays local and doesn't filter up to some already rich CEO
- Responsive, James at Arch Trek was always quick to respond to me
- Genuine, I felt that they were more interested in making sure I was satisfied than getting money out of me
- They've got some preset tours that are incredibly affordable but they can also customize
Additional thought
- If you can, organize a private tour (e.g. your family, buddies, etc.) I guarantee you'll have a better time that just getting slotted into a group. Although their group tours were very affordable from the prices they quoted me.

Everything you want in a guide-kind, knowledgeable, fun
I had an amazing time during my family trip to Kenya. Arch Treks and Safaris provided a safe, fun, once in a lifetime experience. We had a large group so had multiple cars/drivers, we loved them all. All of the accommodations were wonderful, we not only saw many animals on our drives but were learning about animals and plants from our guides during the drives. Our time in Nairobi was also carefully crafted and wonderful. The trip was planned to perfection- the perfect amount of days at Mara Serena and the perfect amount of time exploring Nairobi. Our trip included game drives, a hot air balloon safari, a nature walk, hike and visit to a Masai village. Our time in Nairobi included an informational tour of the city and a couple museum stops. Even the stops to and from Nairobi/Mara Serena were planned to perfection- moments to grab a snack, use the bathroom and stretch your legs while picking up a souvenir or two.
Everyone made us feel welcome and at home.
I highly recommend using Arch Treks and Safaris!

Unforgettable Adventure: A 5 star Reveiw of a Mount Kenya traverse; Via Narumoru and Chogoria Routes
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 5 day Mt Kenya traverse via the Narumoru (up) and Chogoria (down) routes. It was truly an unforgettable experience. The Arch Treks team who organised the trip were knowledgable, professional and passionate about what they do.
The trek was challenging by the stunning landscapes and breathtaking views made it all worth it. Climbing to Point lenana on Mt Kenya was the highlight of the trip and a true accomplishment. What made it more memorable was the fact that the whole group was able to climb till point Lenana. The descent via the Chogoria route was equally impressive with over 9 lakes.
The entire trip was extremely well organized and the accommodations were comfortable and well maintained. The food was delicious and there was plenty to keep us energized for the next day's trek.
Overall, I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime. The combination of stunning landscapes and knowledgable guides made for an unforgettable experience. I cannot thatk the team enough for their excellent service and for making this trip a truly unforgettable one.
