Committed to do their best
5/5

Charles from Tilman was quick to respond and make arrangements via WhatsApp. Their rates are good relative to alternatives and also good value. He also assisted with return transport from Nairobi. The crew was friendly, always willing to assist and prepared great meals. Leonard, the guide, was very knowledgeable on plants, trees, and animals of the region. I can definitely recommend Tilsman.

Amazing Mt Kenya Trek Experience!!
5/5

Absolutely amazing. The team of guide, chef and porters were extremely attentive and made life on the mountain as comfortable as possible. The cost of the trip and the amount of work the guys put in is 100% worth every cent and I couldn’t recommend them enough! The guide (Leonard) was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience seamless! One of the most underrated trips around, would definitely do it again!!

Amazing adventure for your trip to Kenya !
5/5

We did a 4 day Mt. Kenya trip with Tillman Safaris and could not fault a thing. We were in great hands with Leonard our guide, and the rest of the amazing team that accompanied us. The trek itself is some of the most unique scenery we have ever seen and whilst challenging reaching Lenana peak is an amazing feeling. Meals were extremely delicious and our tent set up really great, we were always comfortable thanks to the team. Thank you for helping us organise an amazing trek on such short notice, we loved it!

Tilman Safaris: A Truly Personal and Unforgettable Kenyan Adventure
5/5

A fantastic safari and Mount Kenya experience

Tilman Safaris is a small organisation that offers excellent personal attention. We first went on a five-day safari, followed by a four-day climb of Mount Kenya.

The safari took us to two parks: Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve. Our guide, Ambrose, made every effort to help us see as much wildlife as possible—and he certainly succeeded. We saw the Big Five and many other animals.

For the Mount Kenya climb, we were supported by a wonderful team who took excellent care of us and helped us reach the summit. Our lead guide, Leonard, was a calm and experienced professional who made several excellent decisions about the route and timing. The guides, cooks and other team members were all friendly, professional and very supportive.

One thing to keep in mind is that the cabins on the mountain are extremely basic, but that is part of the adventure.

We highly recommend Tilman Safaris to anyone looking for a personal, well-organised and memorable Kenyan experience.
