Dnalus –
One of the most adventurous and exciting activities we made so far. The trails at Mt. Kenya are stunning and with a huge variety of vegetation. Stanley was the organizer of this trip and helped us with everything and answered all our questions. The communication with him was lightning fast and easy. Our Guide Anthony is a very experienced hiker and took good care of us. He was very knowledgeable about all animals and plants around Mt Kenya and shared everything he knows with us. The accommodations are very simple but also what you expect from a hike like this. The food is freshly cooked for you every day – you can expect local fold and fruits. All additional bags and luggage is carried for you by the team (around 4 people in total) so you can focus on hiking. Overall the team is super friendly and caring. Finally the view from the peak is breathtaking and totally worth the 2 am wake up call you get when doing the summit. Thanks to Stanley and the Team – it was super great
