Excellent operator and team for my trip to Mount Kenya
The best experience in my life!
I want to recommend Equitorial Star Adventure Safaris to all of you. I asked for 3 quotes and chose Equitorial Star because it provide the lowest price and I heard that it is established by experienced guides living around Mount Kenya. It was proved that I am sensible, since it provide superior level of service.
Duncan, who got in touch with me and took me from Nairobi to Mount Kenya, is always there to help me, even when I had a problem with Uber after the trip. As a single traveller, they arranged a guide, two porters and a cook for me. It surprised me that they brought so many nacessities to guarantee my comfort on the mountain, even a soft mattress in the tent.
I enjoyed to climb with my guide Patrick, he had extensive knowledge about the mountain, its creatures and medicine, which guarantee your personal safety at high altitude. Besides, he also introduced his life in mountain region, and his attitude towards life, which I am very eager to learn about.
Also want to thank my cook Juma, porters Julius and Samuel. They work hard and they are very kind to me. They are expert at packaging and cooking. You cannot imagine how many things they can put in their backpack. We do not have kitchen on the mountain, but it was the best food I had in Kenya.
Miss so much and hope to go back to meet them in the future again😭

The real heros
Climbing Mount Kenya with Duncan, Jumaa, and their team was incredible. They knew so much about the mountain and made me feel safe. Duncan led well, and Jumaa was always friendly, making the tough parts easier.
Their team was great, setting up camp and making food, so I could enjoy the climb. They cared about me and helped me reach the top.
I loved climbing with them and would recommend them to anyone. They made my trip special and fun.

An unforgettable climb
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Mount Kenya climb with Equatorial Star. A friend and I did the 5 day climb in February and had an amazing time. We organised everything over WhatsApp in advance with Duncan, who replied quickly to all our questions and provided us with a comprehensive list of equipment that we needed.
The actual climb itself went very smoothly, Patrick was an excellent guide and the rest of the team were very friendly and helpful. We were well looked after and the food was both good and plentiful, thanks to Juma. The actual climb was amazing. I would recommend the up Chogoria and down Sirimon route that Patrick took us on. The scenery was breathtaking. Patrick got the pacing spot on, making sure we avoided altitude sickness, but then making sure that we were the first people to the top on summit day, meaning we had the peak to ourselves before any other climbers arrived. An unforgettable experience.
Thank you to Patrick, Juma, Benson, Sam, Paul and Julius!
We hope to be back to climb Kilimanjaro with Equitorial Star at some point in the future.
