Kenya

Over the course of four varied and intrepid days, we climb Mt Kenya via the quieter and more beautiful Chogoria Route. Standing at just shy of 5000m, Mt Kenya commands respect and requires careful acclimatisation, but the reward is quite simply breathtaking when we summit for sunrise, with views spanning over the savannah.

We work with the most reputable trekking organisation in Kenya who has a team of carefully-picked, experienced guides and porters to ensure the trip is both safe as well as a form of responsible tourism through empowering communities, celebrating culture, and bringing prosperity to the local economy.

After the challenge of Mt Kenya, we stay in one of two premium lodges nearby the bustling town of Nanyuki. The thicker air, wide variety of local fruits, vegetables and local dishes makes this an enriching contrast from your adventure on the mountain. There is the option to visit local waterfalls and Maasai communities.

Northern Kenya is rich with private and community-based wildlife conservancies - we have access to a number of the leaders in the space, where you will spend an immersive three days out with specialist guides at dawn and dusk, with time during the days for other activities or simply taking it easy. We typically spend one afternoon undertaking some citizen science like tree wrapping, bird counting or learning from rangers, all in support of local conservation efforts.
