Summiting Point Lenana at sunrise was the most incredible moment of my life. The team at Comprehensive Kenya Safaris handled everything — the acclimatization day made all the difference, and our guide David knew every step of the mountain. I made it to the top feeling strong. Worth every dollar.
We saw a cheetah hunt, a leopard in a tree and the entire Ngorongoro Crater full of wildlife in five days. Edward, our driver-guide, has an eye like a hawk — he spotted things other vehicles drove straight past. Flawless organisation from Nairobi all the way through Tanzania.
I combined the Mara with a Kilimanjaro Machame climb and it was the trip of a lifetime. The river crossings were jaw-dropping, and standing on Uhuru Peak two weeks later was surreal. One company, one seamless booking, zero stress. I cannot recommend CKS highly enough.
Named, certified, first-aid trained. The same faces from your first WhatsApp message to your summit photo.
David has summited Point Lenana over 200 times and Uhuru Peak more than 60 times. He holds advanced wilderness first-aid certification and is known for his calm, encouraging style on summit night.
Edward's encyclopaedic knowledge of East African birds and mammals turns every game drive into a masterclass. He has a gift for positioning the vehicle for the perfect photograph.
Grace plans every itinerary down to the hour and runs our safety-first protocol — daily check-ins on the mountain, emergency evacuation procedures and crew welfare standards.
Yes. It is mandatory by Kenya Wildlife Service regulations to climb Mount Kenya with a licensed guide. Independent trekking is not permitted. All our guides are KWS-certified and wilderness first-aid trained.
Point Lenana (4,985m) is Mount Kenya's trekking peak — reachable on foot without technical climbing. Nelion (5,188m) and Batian (5,199m) are the true summits and require technical rock climbing (Grade IV+). About 95% of climbers aim for Point Lenana.
Mount Kenya climbing costs from $480 for a day hike to around $890 for a 4-day Sirimon trek to Point Lenana, and from $2,400 for a 7-day technical Batian summit. Prices are per person and include park fees, crew, food and camping gear.
Kilimanjaro (5,895m) is higher and more famous, with a higher summit success rate on longer routes but more crowds. Mount Kenya (4,985m trekking peak) is more scenic, much quieter, cheaper, and offers a true wilderness experience. Many climbers do Mount Kenya first to acclimatize, then Kilimanjaro.
The best months to climb Mount Kenya are January–February and July–October, when the weather is driest and the trails are clearest. March–May and November are the long and short rains. Technical Batian climbs are best in the July–September dry window.
