Nice hike, great weather, amazing food
I was surprised how big our team was and also our food was more than great. No problem at all with vegetarians. Our guide knew a lot about flowers and animals and was helpful. They lent us warm sleeping bags, so we weren't cold even at the highest altitudes. That was great, and our tent was waterproof and the mattresses were comfortable. I recommend bringing headache medicine with you because of the altitude.
But I would love to get more detailed list of things to carry with me. For example water filter would be nice to have because rivers and lakes as a water source are not safe enough for me. Also guide should have first aid kid with him not in the office and also weather forecast I think is important to check every day in mountains. Last but not least, I think that every company should carry a shovel for toilet needs. At every campsite, people go "in the bushes," and all campsites look accordingly. This is even the case around the lake from which drinking water is then taken. I think this needs to be changed.

Amazing!
“I couldn’t recommend them more! Everything—from communication to logistics—was incredibly smooth. Our trek on Mt. Kenya was fantastic. The whole team was warm, friendly, and great company. They shared lots of interesting information about the local flora and fauna, and the meals were both delicious and abundant. Even when I struggled with altitude sickness, they were exceptionally supportive and attentive. I’d absolutely book with them again!

Incredible experience, professionally organized.
Our experience with Tilman Safari was great. From the moment we got in contact with them, they were very responsive and provided multiple options for our mount Kenya trek. We got picked up in Mombasa and met the group on the way. Our two guides, Anthony and Leonard were very prepared and extremely nice. We were a group of 6 people and enjoyed every single day. I would recommend this experience to anyone! Make sure to bring a day backpack on top of your normal backpack. Last but not least, be aware that tipping is expected (it might be different from your country of origin).

Reliable guides,well- organised and extremely fun experience!
We had an incredible time hiking Mount Kenya. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and the atmosphere within the group was amazing. Our two guides were not only very experienced and reliable, but also genuinely fun to be around, making every part of the trek enjoyable. The porters were equally fantastic: super friendly, supportive, and always bringing great energy to the team. Even on the toughest day the summit push, they looked after us so well, encouraging us, checking in constantly, and making sure we reached the top safely and confidently. Truly an unforgettable adventure!

Great organisation, super fun porters and guides, very knowledgeable.
Great experience, super beautiful hike. The guides and porters are well equipped and experienced. The food was great and always perfect prepared. Even with a height sickness they managed the situation very well and brought me safe to the next hut. Cool experience, really recommendable.

Best Mount Kenia Tour
Charles organised our tour perfectly from the pickup to the dropoff. For the mount Kenia hike we a whole team with guides, a cook and porters. Everyone was very kind and wanted to ensure an unforgettable experience. Our guides were very knowlegeable and told us a lot about the wildlife and plants of the National Park. We camped surrounded by beautiful nature and even spotted an elephant in the camp after the first night. Also the food was very delicious and exceeded our expectations. Overall, we can highly recommend Tilman Safaris.

Tillman’s offer fantastic and reliable tour services and great communication.
We first did a Mount Kenya tour for 4-5 days, the guides and porters were amazing and the food was great and we were all able to reach the summit with the help of Antony and Leonard guiding us.
Charles at Tillman’s then sorted us out an amazing Safari in Ol Pejeta where we stayed at Maisha Sweetwaters camp, everything was perfect.
Thanks to the Tillman’s team for a great trip!

Charles was responsive, accommodating and thoughtful!
Was a pleasure to work with Charles who was very efficient and responded quickly and in detail to my inquiries. Being from the US and our first trip to Kenya, he patiently answered all my queries and assisted us in putting together our week long trip to Aberdare National Park, Solio conservancy, Nairobi and Amboseli. His guide cum driver Alvin was an absolute gem! Met us at the hotel on time, drove us everywhere for the next 8 days, was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Charles himself joined us on a part of our tour and between them gave us a comprehensive, entertaining and spectacular view of this amazing country and its people. The Safari jeep was clean and well maintained and this team was resourceful and networked with others to make sure we had unforgettable experiences. From private ranger-accompanied hikes to several waterfalls in Aberdare, beautiful sightings of Mt. Kenya, (while we don’t do a hike to Mt Kenya, it is one of Charle’s specialties) amazing wildlife sightings and learning in Solio conservancy with it’s unbelievable numbers of Rhino, to the elephant families of Amboseli and just to many types of antelopes, hyenas, jackals and more to list! Add to that a memorable night safari! He provided me with references, certifications, adjusting to my budget, and importantly, prompt payment receipts that eased my worry in wiring deposit money to someone I had no previous personal connection with. Thank you Charles, it’s my pleasure to highly recommend you.
