  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

  Incredible 5-day expedition to Mount Kenya. Our expedition to Mount Kenya in December was an unforgettable experience! As soon as we reached Nanyuki from Nairobi, we started getting attracted by the beauty of the mountains. As we passed through the Sariman Gate, we saw a variety of wildlife on the mountain path, especially the silence of the dense forest, and the view of the illuminated water body was great. Although the trekking route is quite challenging, every step seems easy with the help of experienced guides. Amazing views from the top of the mountain! While descending on the Chogoria route, the waterfalls, forest land, and charming nature became more attractive. The management of Bencia Africa Adventures and Safaris was excellent. They have given importance to our comfort and safety. The food, the tent, and everything else was handled excellently. For those who want to experience the thrilling trekking of Mount Kenya, this is undoubtedly a great package!Show more

  We chose a mid-range lodge safari, and it was worth every penny! Timothy, our guide, ensured we didn’t miss any wildlife moments, from the elegant Rothschild’s giraffes in Lake Nakuru to the herds of elephants in Amboseli. The scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background was magical. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris made the entire process seamless, and their 20+ years of experience truly shone through.Show more
