  Our 5-day Mount Kenya climb with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris was one of the most rewarding adventures we have ever done. Starting from Sirimon and descending through Chogoria gave us the chance to experience completely different landscapes. The trek through dense forest, giant waterfalls, and wide open valleys felt unreal, like stepping into a wildlife documentary. The guides were professional, encouraging, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable. The camps were well organized, the meals were fresh and energizing, and every day brought new breathtaking views. Reaching Point Lenana at sunrise was the highlight of the trip — cold, challenging, but absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend this trek for anyone looking for a true mountain adventure.Show more

  I have never seen such a beautiful and multi-faceted landscape - from Sirimon Gate to Chogoria, each step is full of different delights. The guides are very friendly, helping everywhere and ensuring safety. The food was healthy and on time. They also made sure we felt comfortable while camping at night. At times the path was difficult, but by the time I reached it, the exhaustion of the entire climb had disappeared. I will remember this experience for a lifetime.Show more

  An achievement that I will cherish! The 5-day Mount Kenya Climbing Expedition on the Sirimon-Sogoria route with Bensia Africa was challenging but incredibly rewarding. Alfred handled all the supplies, from the permits to the equipment, perfectly. Our guide, Simon, was experienced and motivating, he helped us climb rocky valleys and steeps and at the same time shared information about unique plants. Breakfast was tasty and nutritious. Security was at the highest level.Show more

  This trip is not easy, but great for those who love mountains and walking. Walking through Mackinder's Valley, the nature around was very beautiful. The night at Shipton Camp was cold but the experience was good. Seeing Mau Mau Caves has given an opportunity to learn something new. On the last day, the road through Chogoria was quite long, but the view was amazing. The entire route was well managed. I would like to have this experience again.Show more

  In the first two days of climbing the Sirimon route, many giant trees and dry slopes had to be climbed. Although the path was a little difficult, but gradually after reaching Mackinders Valley, the scene changed completely - rocky valleys around and a strange calm environment. The guide was very helpful and briefed us well every day before the walk. At night, the food in the camps is served hot, which is really relaxing in the cold weather.Show more

  Going up with Sirimon and coming down with Chogoria was a different experience altogether. Walking through large waterfalls, dense forests, and open valleys - the whole thing is like a National Geographic documentary. When I returned to Nairobi on the last day, it felt like a chapter of my life had ended. Those who love trekking can definitely opt for this package from Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris.Show more

  I never thought I would regain so much confidence climbing mountains. I started this trek with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris from Sirimon Gate and ended with the beautiful Chogoria Route. Every day was a new view, a new challenge, and a new inspiration. The guides were amazing – safety and professionalism were their priority. I will never forget the sounds of animals in the night forest and the experience of spending the night next to a waterfall.Show more
