Fantastic hiking and camping experience and perfect planning and execution
This trip was amazing. We were two on a private tour organised by Kentau Safaris. The planning stage went very smoothly. Dominic at Kentau Safaris was extremely responsive, he understood all our questions and came back almost immediately with very clear and concise answers. If you are looking for a rock solid agent you cannot go wrong with these guys. Our guide, Edwin or Mwalimu (teacher) as he is referred to by colleagues on the mountain was great. He is both very experienced and in good shape. He was excellent at reading into how the weather was evolving and setting the pace for us on our hike. When we hiked to the top of Point Lenana, starting at 2 am, he set the pace so perfectly that we were 200 m from the summit at daybreak and we waited only 10 minutes at the top for the sun to rise. He is also very knowledgeable about the nature and history of the area. We are in no doubt that we had the best guide on the mountain We were also very happy with the chef and the team in general. The food was great, nice warm soups, beef or chicken stews, sautéed vegetables for dinner, porridge, eggs and sausages for breakfast. And popcorn as snacks when we got into camp early :). We were super happy with this trip from A to Z. If we were to do this again we would go straight to Kentau Safaris and ask for Mwalimu.

Mount Kenya
We hiked the Mount Kenya with Kentau Safaris and were absolutely satisfied with the organization and execution. The manager Dominic Mwata was very responsive, competent and helpful in answering all our questions upfront and organized a powerful and experienced team that made the trip were convenient and an unforgettable breathtaking event. I can highly recommend this small and growing outdoor company and we already explored future trips with Dominic. Thumbs up!
Response from the operator: I appreciate you taking your time to share your feedback. Best wishes

Exceptional Customer Service
My wife and I had an excellent climbing experience, from the airport pick-up to the drop-off. Overall, I can confidently say we received great value for our money, just as promised during the negotiations. What impressed me most was the meticulous attention to safety. Nothing was rushed, and we summited in style. While the hike, especially summit day, was challenging, the team was amazing and made it a memorable experience for us. We received a lot of personal attention from the team and felt like royalty. This might be the advantage of choosing a small agency, or it could simply be a reflection of their exceptional service—I wouldn't know for sure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to leave us your feedback.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route cost?
+
Prices start at $1600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Days Mount Kenya Climbing Via Chogoria Sirimone Route start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
