About Comprehensive Kenya Safaris
Nairobi-based mountain and safari specialists. We lead with Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, price in USD, and run every trip safety-first.
Our story
Comprehensive Kenya Safaris is based in Karen, Nairobi — minutes from the gates of Nairobi National Park and a few hours from Mount Kenya. We were founded on a simple belief: that climbing Africa's great mountains and seeing its wildlife should be transparently priced, expertly guided and genuinely safe.
We specialise in Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro first, because that is what we know best. Our lead guides have summited Point Lenana over 200 times and Uhuru Peak more than 60 times. From there we run wildlife safaris across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda — and beach holidays on the Kenya coast.
Safety first, always
Every mountain trip runs on a safety-first protocol: daily health checks, pulse-oximetry monitoring above 4,000m, emergency evacuation procedures and trained first-aid guides. We carry supplemental oxygen on all Kilimanjaro trips and Mount Kenya technical climbs. We will turn a climber around if symptoms worsen — the mountain is always there next time.
Conservation on every climb
For every climber on a Mount Kenya trip, we plant an indigenous tree with a local community group on the mountain's lower slopes. It is a small act, multiplied across hundreds of climbers a year, that gives back to the mountain that gives us our living. We are proud partners of a WWF-aligned conservation initiative.

What our guests say
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.
