A professional operator that delivered a well-organized Mount Kenya trek and safari experience
We recently completed both a Mount Kenya trek and a 1-day safari trip with Tilman Safaris. Overall, the experience was consistently professional and met our expectations.
Communications & Reliability: From the initial inquiry through to the final drop-off, communication was clear and timely. Logistics were handled efficiently, and the team was punctual for all scheduled departures and transitions between the mountain and the parks.
Service & Tour Quality: The guide and porters on the Mount Kenya trek were very friendly, knowledgeable, and focused on our safety. They maintained a steady, manageable pace, which turned a difficult trek into a great experience. During the safari, the vehicle was in good condition, and the guide was patient and highly focused on spotting wildlife.
We can definitely recommend Tilman Safaris for travelers looking for a well-coordinated itinerary in Kenya.

Amazing 5-day Mt. Kenya Trek – Highly Recommended!
We had an incredible time on our 5-day hike (Chogoria - Sirimon route). From the very beginning, the communication with Charles was super friendly and smooth, he answered all our questions very quickly.
On the mountain, we were accompanied by an amazing local team of five. Everything was perfectly planned out and the team was always on time, which we really appreciated. Our guide, Leonard, was amazing; he knows practically every plant and animal species on the mountain and we always felt in very good hands with him.
Our cook, George, was always smiling and the food was excellent. They really make sure you eat enough and that the meals are right for the high altitude. A special shout-out to Nelson, who looked after us so well at every camp and all the other porters, who did an amazing job as well.
A huge highlight for us was the Mackinder Valley between Shipton's and Old Moses. The landscape is just stunning. The views and the giant plants there are something you have to see for yourself, very unique nature.
By booking with them, you’re supporting a local, truly hardworking team rather than a big travel agency. All in all, it was an amazing experience and we gained so much from this trip. We would definitely do it again!
