We had an amazing experience with CKC as our guide for climbing Mount Kenya. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and care were exceptional. The communication with John before the trip was great - he answered my questions on WhatsApp and was in touch frequently. The guides were really knowledgeable about the flora and fauna on the route, which made for a really interesting trek. They took great care to ensure our safety at every step, making the trek both enjoyable and challenging in the best way possible. Their passion for the mountain and deep understanding of local wildlife and culture enriched our experience tremendously. The team also provided excellent support, in particular the delicious meals, ensuring we were well-prepared for the summit. We couldn't recommend CKC more highly for anyone looking to embark on a trek to Mount Kenya!
3 Days Mount Kenya Trek Using the Sirimon Route - S
Salome • traveled in April, 2026
Our 3-day Nairobi to Masai Mara + Naivasha Hell's Gate Safari! On the first day we left from Nairobi and reached Masai Mara, We saw a lot of animals on the afternoon game drive — lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes all up close. The second day was spent at the Masai Mara. The guide was very expert, showed almost all of the Big Five. Safari in the sunrise and bonfire in the camp in the evening - everything was perfect. On the third day, I went on a bike safari through Lake Naivasha to Hell's Gate National Park. Cycling among zebras, warthogs, giraffes is a different experience altogether! Hiking and seeing the gorge at Hell's Gate was also great. Accommodation was good and transport was good. The guide was always friendly and helpful. A big thank you to the whole team

Carlos • traveled in June, 2026
I went on a safari for the first time. I have seen many lions, giraffes, zebras and different birds in Tsavo West and Tsavo East. I will never forget the sunset in Amboseli. The tour organizer Bencia Africa Adventure has managed everything very well. Both the car and the driver were great. There was not problem. A very good experience at an affordable price. Those who want to do safari from Mombasa, can definitely take this tour.
