Genuine, accommodating, authentic, safe experience in an incredible place
I had an amazing adventure with Mountain Hiking Ventures. Daniel has over 20 years of experience on the mountain, and made sure everything was organized for us to have an amazing time. He was kind, his team was so fun and caring, the food was genuinely so good and I learned so much about the environment, history, culture, and animals of the park. Both guides were so knowledgeable, and even in hard moments of my trek and sumiting the mountain I felt extremely supported by my guides. I will definitely be doing another adventure with the team again in the future. I recommend Daniel for Mt. Kenya as well as any other local safari or hiking adventure based trips in Kenya and Tanzania. Asante Daniel and Team!

So supportive and understanding. Knowledgeable and kind throughout the experience
Climbing Mount Kenya was one of the best experiences of my life, Daniel and the guides were a huge part of what made it so special. Their warmth, patience, and encouragement made the journey feel personal, and I’m deeply grateful for the people I got to share it with. The mountain itself was breathtaking, but it’s the connection, laughter, and moments along the way that I’ll carry with me most. Being from Kenya, experiencing this part of home meant so much to me. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure—I couldn’t have asked for a better team to experience it with.

I look forward to booking another excursion with family and friends so they can experience Kenya with such lovely people.
Special thanks to Gitau who was very responsive to all my questions and accommodating to itinerary changes and updates. Kudos on great customer service and providing such tailored plan and personalized experience.

Wonderful 5-day Mount Kenya Trek with a great team
I had a fantastic time doing a 5-day trek to Mount Kenya with Mountain Hiking Ventures. The communication with Irene during booking and pre-departure was smooth and she answered all of my many questions that I had. I met my excellent guide Kevin and porter Stanley at the office on the morning of departure where I also left my suitcase while going on the trek. We travelled by a shared minibus to Nanyuki where we also picked up the equipment I rented and then started the trek in the afternoon. The trekking itself was amazing with beautiful views. Kevin kept a good pace throughout the trek to help me adapt to the high altitude (I am an experienced hiker but I had not been to altitude above 2500 m before this trek). He was also always keen to tell me about the fascinating plants and animals we saw along the way (I am a biologist so this was very welcome!) and we had a great time chatting about life in Kenya. We reached the summit successfully which was amazing (but very cold and windy, even for a person who lives in Scotland!). The rest of the team, Stanley, Morris, and Naftari, were all super friendly and hospitable, always tried to make my experience as good as possible, and prepared some amazing meals for me (in fact, there was always more than I could eat!). I did the Sirimon Up and Chogoria Down version of the trip which I thought was a great choice with very good spacing of the camps along the elevation gradient and sufficient time to relax in the camps after hiking. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and can absolutely recommend Kevin and the rest of the group to anyone who is considering doing this trek!

Professional
Overall the experience was excellent and we were lucky enough to see quite a lot of animals. Professional drivers and I also met other friendly tourists. Hotel is less fancy and has some power supply issues but it’s understandable given its location in the wild.

A Service That Exceeds Your Expectations
I had an amazing experience with Mountain Hiking Ventures.
They not only take you to the top of the mountains safely, but also introduce you to Kenyan culture, people, and cuisine.
I’m confident their service will exceed your expectations.

Amazing experience
I did the mount kenya by sirimon and chogoria road and seriously it was definitely the best experience of my life. Samy, Patrick, and John did the three-day hike with me and were incredible!! They took such good care of me, making sure I had everything I needed! Especially Patrick, who cooked me three excellent meals a day.
I will never forget it. Thank you again!!!

Considerration
It was great time and experience for me. To be honest, I worried about whether because it was rainy season and actually it was rain on the way. However, somehow We enjoyed spending the time on the way and on summit. All of us desired to see sunrise from summit, so I was really delight to share great moment with other members. I also appreciate supporting members such as porters, cooks and guides and at the same time I realized that they are so tough. Surely, It was difficult to accomplish the climbing schedule without them. At the end, I would like to recommend other friends who are willing to climb mountain in Kenya this tour company. Thank you very much.
