Smooth and stunning hike - It was a stunning and smooth experience to hike from Sirimon gate to Chogoria. Fantastic views, the serenity and peace... Africa Outdoors was very trustworthy and organized everything without any troubles. They catered my vegan diet, my guide James was superb and I was in safe hands, and the whole team including porters (Lewis, Mbuu, James) and Joseph (the cook) was so friendly and punctual. Willy, the owner of the company, borrowed me some clothes for free, so kind of him, and communication was easy. I can highly recommend this company, you'll experience nothing but amazing things! The route is good to do exactly this way because of the sceneries and climb to the top. It will not be easy if you haven't hiked as some of the days are long, however, if you have, it won't be too bad and it's definifely enjoyable. The whole national park is so huge and incredible, I will come back for more. Already looking forward!

Breathtaking scenery, great company, delicious meals - We had an amazing experience climbing Mt Kenya. The route was carefully thought out, giving us the most of the limited time available. We actually started from Chogoria then exited through Sirimon gate, camping through our stay, which was awesome fun! The campsite locations were well selected, with spectacular scenery to wake up to in the mornings, normally by the lake or with the view of Mt Kenya peaks. There is a capable team of chef and porters to facilitate your stay. The guides were so resourceful, yet so patient. The team from Africa Outdoors is truly committed to utmost customer satisfaction. You'll want to invest in quality gear, appropriate for the cold and rain as the weather changes without notice. Kenya is a truly beautiful country!

Unforgettable👌 - The trip was such a wonderful adventure and I know for a fact that it had everything to do with how Willy and his team were patient and accommodating, not to mention knowledgeable. Africa Outdoors were well equipped and ready to handle every eventuality that could be or was thrown at us by the mountain.

Happiness on a mountain - Africa Outdoors (Willy) planned a fantastic 5days, 4nights trek up Mt. Kenya where we did not have to think of anything expect if we had drunk enough water and eaten enough food. You'd expect food on a hike to be bland, but that was not the case, the cooks outdid themselves and the porters were very respectul and handy with hot water for tea/cofee (it was cold up there). Also, our guide, James, was very knowledgeable about the mountain (where you can get network- for that important phonecall/ whatsapp message- and he knew the names of the plants, lakes, tarns, valleys and rivers) and was patient with our group, such that we all managed to reach the summit :-) The hike was a pleasant break from the rush of the city, and ending it with the warm shower at Meru Bandas was a great way to end it. I enjoyed it all, thanks for organizing it.
