Good experience on budget guided trekking - Our five day Mt Kenya trek was an amazing experience. The hike passes through multiple eco zones, from rain forest to alpine desert. We saw many hyrax, bird species, and some monkeys. The summit sunrise was spectacular. Our route, up Sirimon down Chogoria, seemed like a good choice because it seemed easier to reach the summit from the Sirimon side and then we got to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Chogoria side on the way down. Our guide, Daniel, knew the trail and the area well and answered lots of questions we had about wildlife, geography, and culture. He was attentive to how we were faring on the trail and helped out when needed. I would definitely recommend him and his crew. Our food and accommodations (mostly tenting) were good quality, and our porters were friendly and helpful. Those interested should note that two things about the transport to and from the mountain: (1) we were taken to and from Nairobi on the public mini-bus, which was an over three hour drive, and on the return trip, we had to wait about an hour at the bus station before the bus filled up and embarked. This was an interesting experience in its own way but if I were to do this trip again I would probably try to book a private car instead to save some time and comfort. (2) the $50 car pickup on the Chogoria side on the last day seems a bit overpriced and was not really optional for us, because the hike is otherwise impractically long to reach town in time to return to Nairobi by the evening.

Point Lenana and Nanyuki transfers - After finding us off the street the nairobi office organised transport and guiding for Mt Kenya trek to Point Lenana. One of the tour party had baggage lost by airline and also stomach issues so the organisers were understanding and accommodated going via airport to pick up our luggage on the way to Nanyuki. Once in Nanyuki since we wanted more days to recover and rest we delayed start date a little and that was also flexibly accommodated by guiding team. Our point of contact in Nairobi was Charles, in Nanyuki it was Daniel. Mt Kenya team: Sam - guide Chef - Patrick Douglas and Simon - Porters Tips would be to take or request portions of your own food like instant noodles if you aren’t accustomed to Kenyan cuisine. Mt Kenya via Simirion route up and Chogoria down was great. However summit day has a lottttttt of downhill. Chorgoria was so beautiful but we were too exhausted to take photos!
