Great Value for an amazing trek
We wanted to trek up Mt Kenya and Dennsland made it happen, with many experiences on the way that made it an authentic Kenyan experience. Organizing the trip over email and WhatsApp was easy. Our guide Kim and 2 porters Jeff and Daniel were great, very friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The scenery and the experience of seeing the sunrise on top of Mt Kenya is spectacular and totally worth the effort. I would totally recommend Dennsland Trekking if you want to do Mt Kenya on a budget. They definitely provided value for the cost

The trek itself was amazing but we had some troubles in the office
Our trek was brilliant. We went up the Sirimon route and got photos of us crossing from the southern the northern hemisphere. It was so scenic and our guides were so lovely. We were really looked after with delicious food and hot drinks and even popcorn and biscuits at snack time! We took an acclimatisation day, so it became a 5 day trek. I'd really recommend this as I was huffing and puffing on the acclimatisation day where we did a small walk up the mountain and back down to the same camp as the night before, but the next day on summiting I felt fine. On summit day we walked up by headtorch and the stars were like nothing I had seen before. We reached the summit for sunrise and it was one of the best experiences of my life. We came down Chogoria and that was stunning too. I felt very looked after throughout the whole trek.
Sadly our office experience was not so good. The company said they used a higher exchange rate than the national rate without explaining why. They also struggled to evidence this. They also didn't accept dollars in cash if the notes were from before 2007. Apparently this is a Kenyan-wide thing but I did feel these issues with paying should've been outlined before as we ended up paying a fair amount more than we were expecting.

Posted on Jul 6, 2022thank you Zoe for your positive response it was fine having you around with positive energy thank you for trusting in us
Good trek but ensure to be explicit with what is included
The trek itself was excellent. There were 3 of us supported by a guide, a porter each and cooks. The team were friendly and took care of us very well. We enjoyed going up Sirimon and down Chogoria. Chogoria is the more scenic of the two routes and enjoying this on the descent is recommendable. There was ample food and hot drinks at regular intervals.
Dennsland trek tours were responsive during the planning stage. There were a couple of issues around what was included just before the trek but these were resolved. Do check the approximate exchange rate from USD to Kenyan shillings in advance as this was higher than the bank exchange rate and hence a bit higher cost than expected.

Epic summit experience, very low budget tour
+ price
+ trek team of porters, chef and guide
+ food
+ prompt email communication with office
+ day 2+3 great hiking, epic summit sunrise experience
- transportation from Nairobi to the mountain and back is public transport (no mentioning before)
- first day wasted with transport and gathering food+equipment, only started hiking at 3:30pm, 2 hour paved road hike to Moses camp
- tent was dirty, old, zipper not working
- mattresses dirty, one day unacceptable
- rest day should be skipped, no relaxing possible in raining season, facilities dirty and low budget
- last accommodation at Bandas unacceptable, unsafe tenting with wildlife at tent, washroom unusable
- last day useless, several hours on 4x4 road with constant discussion when to call for transport at our costs for the entire team. Need to be clarified before. Costs up to 80 USD for vehicle.
Overall fair price, but also very low budget. Day 1 and 5 need to be discussed and agreed on before payment. With reasonable fitness only 2 days and 1 night at Shipton Camp needed. Fantastic summit experience, great chef, porters and guide. Communication with guide was limited, we always had to ask for info.

Reliable and on time.
My solo hike with Dennsland was an amazing experience. I was alone with the guide, porter and cook which make it unique experience. The 5 days hike was beyond expectation. The landscape, the view and going to the summit. I unfortunately didn't get to see the sunrise due to the weather, but experiencing the summit with the frost was a first time for me. Sam the guide was supportive and encouraging me. The only this missing was the preparation for the altitude sickness and better cloth for the cold.
