Mount Kenya Tours & Trips
Mount Kenya rises to 5,199 meters near the equator with routes climbing Point Lenana through these distinct vegetation zones – base forests shifting to bamboo, then heather, moorland, alpine desert before you hit glaciers at the top. This stratovolcano sits prominently in central Kenya. Whether you hike, photograph, or simply gaze in amazement, it's simply stunning.

From start to finish, this was a professional tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and communicated the plan effectively. We are experienced trekkers and had complete confidence in our guides, porters and cook. We were early in the season, so we're able to stay in the bunks. The effects of the altitude were a problem. The schedule of 3 am assent and long trek are not ideal but . But the views are spectacular. This is due to lack of facilities on the east side of the mountain.

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, Michael

Norbert • traveled in October
Great quick 2 day excursion if you want to get a decent bit of hiking and and and seek Mount Kenya but don't have enough time to do a proper 4-5 day summit. We hiked in form the entrance to Old Moses camp and lunch and dinner were delicious and the vegan food I requested was quite tasty and well prepared. My cook was also my guide. He and I did the hike alone, which allowed me to set the pace. On day 2 we hiked from Old Moses to just shy of Shipton camp then back to Old Moses via Likii campground trail. Breakfast and lunch were tops. Things to bring with you. Headlamp (no lights in the bunk rooms), toilet paper, a towell if want to shower (it's very cold), jacket, sweater layers, sunblock (you are closer to the sun and will burn even on cool cloudy days), rain poncho and or unbrella
