We organise tailor-made walking safaris on Mount Kenya for groups or individuals who are looking for a mountain wilderness adventure.
Our trips are personalised itineraries without set departure dates.
We have an experienced mountain team who will do their utmost to ensure your trip is as safe and enjoyable as possible.
Mount Kenya is on the Equator, 4 hours drive north of Nairobi. On Africa’s second highest mountain, you can experience a high altitude walking trip amongst rugged peaks and glaciers, without the crowds.
If you are fit and active and want to challenge yourself to a high peak, you can trek to the third highest point, Point Lenana, which at 4,985 metres is higher than Mont Blanc. Or you can stroll in the eastern foothills, camping by Lake Ellis, visiting the spectacular Nithi waterfalls and climbing the mini summit of Mugi Hill.
You can combine your mountain trip with a safari either in one of the neighbouring conservancies such as Ol Pejeta, or in a national reserve such as Samburu, a few hours drive from Mount Kenya.
Please come and visit this beautiful region of northern Kenya, ‘Kenya’s high country’.
We look forward to welcoming you back this year as soon as global restrictions start to lift. Kenya has adopted health and hygiene protocols of the World Travel and Tourism Council and is a ‘Safe Travels’ destination.
Thank you for your support.

Lucy (and Kenya Treks) were so ‘can do’, knowledgeable, reliable and efficient with our family trip to Kenya. We had a clear brief: essentially to climb Mt Kenya the ‘less trodden’ route, visit remoter game reserves, see old Mombassa, and use the new fast x-country train to the coast for diving and beach-time. Kenya Treks (Lucy and John) put together and delivered a trip that ticked every box and much much more. We especially loved the variety: from a ‘biophilic’ boutique highland lodge with views of Mt Kenya for acclimatisation, to eco-safari tents, mountain refuges, ‘pup tents’ and stunning beach lodges. The 5 day trek was stunning, if undeniably challenging. But all six summited! The team’s deep understanding of these mountains, their organisation and positive attitude throughout were fabulous. Thanks again from all the Hardwicks – August 2022.
It was the most special of family holidays. Lucy and her team organised everything beautifully.
The team’s breadth of local knowledge is second to none, and as a result we had the most memorable experiences. We rode horses alongside grazing giraffes, camped under the stars and stayed on an idyllic desert island.
We can’t wait until our next Kenyan adventure – August 2022.
Thank you for a wonderful adventure! Mark and I had a great time. I feel really good about both of us making the trek (including the summit) without too much trouble on our part and hopefully yours. The staff were terrific and we appreciated their work – August 2019.
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our recent holiday in Kenya and would like to thank you for arranging it….probably the best holiday we’ve had.
The expedition up Mount Kenya was everything we had hoped for. The Chogoria route provided stunning scenery and flora (as well as an elephant and buffalo on the way). The whole team of porters were friendly and supportive and did everything to ensure we were looked after, comfortable and made it to the summit. We cannot speak highly enough of the core team of John, James, Jackson and Sam who were exceptional – July 2019.
Mount Kenya 60+ was a very special project to me. Lucy Booth enthusiastically agreed to join me and designed the best itinerary I could imagine. The most pristine areas, including Point Lenana, for ourselves with plenty of time to enjoy them. Kenya Treks’ guides, porters, cook and waiter are a team of professionals, mountain lovers and fun people. All equipment is top quality and well maintained. This together transformed the climb into un voyage inoubliable… à refaire ! Asanta sana !! – January 2019.
Just a quick note to thank you so very much for organising our amazing trip. Memories abound but what will most stick are the smiley faces and laughter of the team, welcoming bowls of hot water to wash our hands, hot water bottles, tea in the morning, copious amounts of food and amazing scenery. Thanks again to you and the team – October 2018.
Hello! I wanted to send a quick note with the photos from our group’s recent trek to Point Lenana (Chogoria-Sirimon) with John, James and team from Kenya Treks. They did a fantastic, professional job in all aspects and I won’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Thanks for all your great work! – August 2017
