They got me to the top! Unforgettable 5 day trip up Mt Kenya - Just back from 5 day/ 4 night hike up Mount Kenya - Chogoria/Sirimon route. I highly recommend Duncan and his team to facilitate a successful trip. Duncan is very responsive and helpful in the planning stages, answering all questions promptly. He also picked me up in Nairobi and dropped me back at the airport going out of his way when I wanted to stop off to pick things up on the way. And we had some interesting conversations on the car journey - Duncan's a great story teller - giving me excellent insights into so many aspects of Kenya. His team are top class - my guide, Patrick, was so knowledgable about the mountain (‌including fauna and flora) and how to pace the trek - keeping a close eye on how I was coping with altitude and ensuring aclimatisation, so that I would make it to the top. I felt I was in extremely safe hands and we had some great conversations along the way. Juma the cook and Maxwell & Samuel, the porters, always had camp and food ready ahead of us - and kept me so well fed with 3 freshly cooked meals a day including lots of lovely fresh fruit! A very professional and friendly team all round.

An Unforgettable Five-Day Adventure on Mount Kenya - Last week, we embarked on a five-day hike up Mount Kenya, ascending via the Chogoria route and descending through Sirimon. It was a challenging yet incredible experience. The scenery was stunning, and the views were breathtaking. We were accompanied by our two guides, Mozes and Juma, who were not only excellent guides but also wonderful company. The porters carried our large bags and tents, while the cooks prepared delicious meals throughout the hike. Organizing this trip was straightforward thanks to Duncan’s efficient assistance; communication via WhatsApp was quick and easy. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience in Kenya. We will certainly recommend climbing Mount Kenya with your team to others.

Fabulous 5 day hike up Mt Kenya - We had an amazing time hiking mount kenya! The team at equatorial safaris were faultless, so kind, professional, knowledgeable and well prepared, they’d thought of everything! Highly recommended. We loved the route Chogoria up, Sirimon down, as giving the best chance to acclimatise to the altitude and made the best of the beautiful Chogoria scenery which is more interesting and stunning than the Sirimon side.

Great company to use for Mt Kenya Hike - We just finished our 5D4N Mt Kenya hike on 21 Sep24, organised by Duncan and his wonderful team. We started planning this trip in mid July and was in discussions with Duncan via WhatsApp since then. Duncan is quick in responding all my queries. We started the hike on 17 Sep where Duncan picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi. After about 3 hours drive, we arrived at Chogoria town for lunch and met up with the crew members (our guide Patrick, our cook Juma, and five porters). Throughout the hike, our cook prepared more than sufficient food to ensure we have enough energy to complete our daily trek. Patrick also assisted my wife by carrying her day bag so that she can enjoy her hike with higher success of making to the summit. We made it to the summit on 20 September and the views up there were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend potential visitors planning a trip to climb Mt Kenya to contact Duncan.

5 Stars for the Equatorial Star! - Duncan and his company made sure for an outstanding trip to Mount Kenya. We were taken exceptionally good care of throughout the trek both with regards to quality of the trip and safety. I actually suffered from a small amount of altitude sickness, which meant I had to return from the mountain, and Duncan himself made the kindest effort to personally drive me all the back to Nairobi at 10 pm (which is a 3hour drive). I could not recommend Duncan and his team of fun and experienced people enough. 5 Stars for the Equatorial Star!

Amazing experience! - What an amazing time! The mountain itself is spectacular. There are so many different ecosystems you see along the hike. The waterfall, valley, peak, and cave were highlights of mine. The crew of Juma, Patrick, Julius, and John took great care of me. The owner, Duncan was very easy to talk to and coordinated the whole trip. The food and tent were very nice too. Wonderful time!

A trek great - Duncan from the Equatorial Star Adventure Safaris was very responsive and informative in all our e-mail messaging. The trip was well organized and because Duncan knew we were interested in plants, he selected a guide, Patrick, who was very knowledgeable about plants of Mount Kenya NP. Thanks Patrick!! Overall, the trip was well planned and we appreciated a certain level of flexibility and itinerary changes related to our fitness level. We definitely recommend ESAS to all travelers interested in exploring Mount Kenya National Park.

Great - We did the 5 day tour to Point Lenana and were very happy with Duncan's team. Patrik's guiding was very professional, he knew a lot about the ecosystem and took us safely to the summit. The organisation and communication with Duncan was smooth and efficient.
