  I was in Kenya on a business trip and I didn’t have any plans to do Mt Kenya until I saw it’s beauty piercing the clouds at sunrise from Ol... read more Pejeta, then I decided to find a guide and hit the trail. I found Eldad through another guide. Eldad is an experienced, knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy mountain guide. We decided to summit Point Lenana via Sirimon. I’m an experienced hiker who’s done many mountains around the world and put thousands of miles on my hiking boots but the night before the summit push at Shiptons, I got terribly sick for no obvious reasons. I woke up Eldad in the middle of the night and he decided we descend a couple hundred meters to be safe. He was extremely responsive and supportive along with his crew. He managed to get a fire going in freezing temperatures to keep us warm and he insisted I don’t leave my tent until I feel better. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go back and summit Lenana because my flight from Nairobi was in less than 24 hrs but the experience I had with Eldad on the trails is definitely one to always be remembered. Until next time, Point Lenana and Batian.

Advice to both experienced and inexperienced hikers/climbers especially those coming from sea level like myself: take your time ascending the mountain and embrace its beauty on the way to the summit. Always remember that we’re out there to observe and embrace beauty and grace.

  Our family had a great experience with Ahambi and an amazing time on our 4-day Mt. Kenya trek (Up the Sirimon route and down the Chogoria route)! Our guides, Eldad... read more and Patrick, were phenomenal - their knowledge of the flora and fauna was incredibly extensive. Furthermore, they described cultural customs and history of the region. Whenever we had questions, they had the answers! Eldad was masterful in the way he managed the team as well as in how he helped our group reach the summit. The porters and cooks were wonderful and so friendly. We were appreciative that they provided vegetarian food for some of our group and the meals far exceeded our expectations. We recommend Ahambi most highly for your adventures and look forward to future expeditions with them!

  Wow. With Eldad guiding, and Samuel taking care of the food, the 3 day hike from Sirimon Gate to Point Lenana and back was fantastic.
Eldad timed the climb... read more to the summit perfectly - 3:00am start just in time to catch the sunrise.
The food was something else so much of it, all so fresh, and very nutritious! It really kept us going - we didn’t feel hungry even for a second! And the warm drinks really helped to handle the cold An all round 5-star experience - thank you Eldad and Samuel! We will be back for more

  My friend and I did Mt. Kenya (Sirimon-Chogoria) with Eldad from Ahambi Tours and it was a great and recommended experience.

Eldad was very calm, knowledgeable and friendly.... read more We felt very safe with him, and he adapted very well to our needs. He was super patient with our endless stops to take pictures, and he helped us to overcome a small “cooking-challenge” we had to face. With other guides I have felt some sort of paternalistic approaches, but with Eldad we did not feel this at all. We shared really nice conversations, and he also helped us to spot a lot of wild animals!: Zebras, Buffalos, Birds, Baboons

In summary we couldn’t have had a better guide and we are extremely grateful for this experience!

Asante Sana! 🙂

A big thanks to my wonderful guide Patrick for answering my 1 million questions about the sights, trees, animals and anything else along the way. When I started to experience moderate symptoms from being at a high altitude Patrick and his crew were caring, helpful and professional ultimately helping me reach Lenana point! 10/10 would recommend!

  Thank you so much Charles for organizing such a trip in such a small amount of time. Charles came and pick me up at home in Nairobi with a driver... read more and we drove all the way up to Nanyuki. The climb of Mt Kenya lasted 3 days. My guide Patrick was very experienced and helped me during this whole 3 days. He was simply the best. Very caring, he knew his job for sure. Despite the cold, the rain or the snow, the climb was an epic one. Climbing up to the top was just an amazing feeling which I'll remember my whole life. Once we were done with the trek, a driver came to pick me up in Chogoria town and drove me all the way back to Nairobi. Everybody was just so nice, caring and professional.
Thank you Steven and Samuel for cooking and carrying my stuff, I promise I will eat more next time!

  The trek to the top of Mount Kenya was one of the most stunning hikes of my life. It's incredible how diverse the scenary is, especially if you go up... read more from one side of the mountain and descend on the other.

As for the organisation, I definitely recommend hiring Ahambi tours to take care of that. The team - guide, porters and cooks - were super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the national park, its wildlife and flora.

Our guide, Eldad, was brilliant! At the beginning he helped us pack and lent us some warm layers (you definitely need them!). During the hike he was friendly, caring and very knowledgeable. Towards the end of the hike, Eldad was flexible as my friend and I walked at different paces, he adapted the hike so they we could separate and finish the hike at our own pace.

I can't recommend hiking Mount Kenya with Ahambi Tours enough!

  We hiked Mt.Kenya via chogoria route and Sirimon down. The trek itself was amazing! The scenary, the vibes. Highly recommended.

Even before arriving to Kenya they were super informative, patient with our non stop questions and made a great effort to plan a suitable itinerary for us.

Our hiking team included Eldad the guide who was extremely welcoming, caring and paced us properly to make it to the top, and always with a smile on his face.
Also accompanied by Samuel, James and David - chef and porter who made sure we are properly fed and happy and warm.

Wonderful experience!

  Hiking Kilimanjaro was fantastic, picking and dropping was very well co-ordinated. Arrival at Arusha and all the hospitality was beyond imagination. Hiking with my children 9 and 11 years girl,... read more boy respectively was a dream come true. we all summited upto Uhuru peak.

The guides, the cook, the porters were all friendly irrespective of my slow packing because I had children, they were very patient with me. Meals, tenting which we always found ready was amazing. The accomodations at Arusha was 5star with clean swimming pool. Everything fell in place more than we expected. Forever grateful.

Elsie 9 and Darwin 11 years are already asking where else you will be taking them. They have expressed good relationship during the hike. Eldad and team your customer service is way out of this world. Children writing history through your guidances/leadership.

I highly recommend Ahambi tours anytime.

God bless you.

The care and support given by Aldad the mananger and his group was not only good but excellent. The guides, very good. The porters, wonderful. The food was not only good, tasty but enough and balanced. I salute the cooks.
All in all Aldad God bless the labor af your hands. What I personally experienced will remain entrenched in my whole existence. Looking forward to having another hike in future with you.
Long live Ahandi tours. Continue with the good work.

  Went up sirimon and down chogoria. Not sure how I’d never herd of mount kenya until I was finalizing my trip as it’s an absolute beauty of a mountain. Definitely... read more the coolest place I’ve been in my life. Saw all sorts of birds, beasts and plants. The guides were all amazing as well and the food was in all honesty the best we’d had in our 2 months in kenya before we started our hike. They’ve really mastered their work and know just about everything on the mountain. I’d say anyone who’s decently fit can do it pretty easily, especially if you pay for porters (we didn’t but the ones we saw were absolute units, fellas were carrying a whole town on their back for some of the more leisurely hikers like it was nothing). If you have a negative experience on this mountain with this company it’s on you. Our guides went above and beyond, and even took us on some extra little side hikes on the way back. Also if you fish bring a pole. Chogoria side has soooo many trout. Still mad I didn’t bring mine. Overall 10000% worth the money, went on a small safari but in my opinion this was much cooler.

  Excellent experience with Ahambi! Extremely professional, outstanding customer service, beautiful ascent! The team was superb. Highly highly recommend it!
