Mt. Kenya: Great Value for a Once-in-A-Lifetime Experience
5/5

In July, four of us (Americans in our late 20s) completed the 4 day Mt. Kenya Sirimon- Chogoria trek with a team of 7. We found Equitorial Star to be the most economical option and were thrilled by the level of service we still received. The porters were friendly and professional. The food was good. Our guide, Patrick, took excellent care of us and was very knowledgeable of surrounding plant and animal life, as well as safety on the mountain. He even lent one of us his dry shoes when ours got too wet! Of note, and of no fault of the company's, the third day of the trek is very long and rigorous. If you choose to complete this trek in 4 days, be prepared for Day 3 to be one of the longest and most challenging hiking days. Despite our sometimes waning spirits on that day, Patrick and his team took great care of us. Mt. Kenya was unforgettable!

Mt. Kilimanjaro trekking
5/5

Everything was organised through our constant telephone and email contacts. Duncan is one of the best travel agents I have dealt with. He organised and supervised over everything. He even accompanied me from Nairobi to Moshi to check over everything before my departure. Once in Moshi he handed me over to his colleague and made sure I was comfortable in the hotel. The team of : guide, cook, helper, 2 porters were superb. The guide Shafii is very experienced and especially good in understanding your pace and knowing better than yourself how much you need to eat, what you have eaten and your energy levels. The cook was outstanding. He prepared elaborate and specific kcal dishes according to the need of the day. I am very pleased with the special 1 to 1 service I was given and Duncan was personally there and then his colleague Njeroge, supervising on me.

5/5

I cannot recommend any higher equatorial star! They gave us a glorious experience full of thrills and some of the Best shoes around! Navigating the monetary portion of the trip took a little planning converting American dollars into Kenyan shillings, and cash seemed to be the easiest method. We felt like family when this trip was done
