Could you send further details on tour to Mt. Kenya via the Chogoria Sirimon route option and check for availability as well as price?

How challenging is the hiking profile? Are paths very small with steep drops? Do I need to be vertigo-proof? Would vegetarian options be available?

We climbed via the Chogoria - Sirimon route, which was stunning over 6 days. We were given more food than we could possibly eat, and it was top notch!

Pita Safari is one of the best guiding company that I encounter as a hiker. Everything was well organized and on time. All questions I asked were answered timely. The guiding team ( Wilson, Pita, and Antony) led by Wilson was very professional, friendly, helpful, and fun to be with. I had a great time with them. I highly recommend them. Thank you Wilson, Pita, Antony and Pita Safari ! Best, MichaelShow more

My friend and I had an absolutely fantastic time climbing Mt Kenya, with Pita Safari’s. We climbed via the Chogoria - Sirimon route, which was stunning over 6 days. Our guides (Wilson and Sammy), cook (Peter) and porters (Simon, David and John) were amazing. They took care of our every need, they were very experienced and so knew exactly how to take care of us on our hike. They were so so friendly, happy and we felt very reassured that we were in good hands. We were given more food than we could possibly eat, and it was top notch! We would highly recommend you book with Pita safari’s. And ask for Wilson as your guide!Show more

  How challenging is the hiking profile? Are paths very small with steep drops? Do I need to be vertigo-proof? Would vegetarian options be available?
- Pita SafarisOperator•Written November 2022
  The hiking is moderate. Some parts are a bit slippery going up and down but with the help of hiking poles makes it easy to the most exposed parts. We keep distance to each other especially going steeply down the scree to make it safe to the next person. For vegetarian there will plenty of food available.
