HIGHLY recommended for Mt Kenya or anywhere else! - I can't recommend them enough. We were 6 friends doing a 4day hike up Mt Kenya and through enjoyed the experience with Ahambi Tours who we'd be recommended to by... read more a friend.
The team were incredible responsive and organised in the planning and execution of our trip. They made everything very easy. Food was great. Guides were excellent and knowledgeable.
Can't wait to do another trip with them
April 7, 2024Excellent tour guides! - We loved our 5-night budget hike up Mt Kenya! Eldad is a very experienced guide. His knowledge, expertise and good vibes made our hike the highlight of our kenya trip.... read more He was happy to teach us about the flora, fauna and Kenya more generally - and show us where to wait out of the cold wind at the summit while the sun rose. The team of porters and our chef made sure we were comfortable and well fed with delicious food every day.
As the budget option, we were collected from our hotel in Nairobi and then accompanied to Nanyuki via public bus, and a similar thing happened on the way back. It’s an express bus and it’s not an issue, just worth being aware.
I would happily recommend Eldad and go with him and Ahambi Tours again!
February 19, 2024Great customer service, Planning and execution - We booked our trip to Kenya with Ahambi Tours who were recommended to us by a friend. Our friend is very choosey which gave us a lot of confidence... read more with the agent.
We were a family of 6 with the oldest being 59yrs and the youngest being 8yrs. Our Trip was 5-day Mount Kenya hike using the Chogoria route as recommended by both the agent and our friend. We all made it to the summit which was a great achievement as a family, all credit to the great team at the mountain.
After the hike, we went on a 11 days Wildlife safari which was exemptional, Kenya is a beautiful county with supper wildlife experience. We must do the Safari again in the near future. I highly recommend Kenya for anyone planning for a wildlife safari.
Diani Beach was our next destination after the safari again this didn't disappoint. we enjoyed to the maximum.
I have to say everything was above our expectations from very clear communication, a very friendly and experienced team, Timekeeping (I have to say that the driver was always 30 min early to pick up time), Good trip organization, and very concerned for our well-being throughout our time in Kenya and even after getting back to Europe.
Ahambi Tours you are so good at what you do, thanks so much for making our experiencing in Kenya the best.
I highly recommended this agent for any one planning to visit Kenya.

Best Team to hike with - It was the best decision to book our trip with this agent.
I have to say that the planning was well done. The timely response to our email despite... read more the different time zoon was commendable as it made our preparation seamless.
Mt. Kenya is a must-visit for anyone who loves hiking, The mountain is very beautiful with a lot to see, and great experience.
Our team at the mountain was very friendly and we felt we were all one, the food was plenty and delicious thanks to our chef Samuel. The trip was well-paced thanks to all our 3 guides James, Eldad, and John. I have to mention that the guides sacrificed a lot to ensure all of us made it to Point Lenana, We have a story to tell. To the porters what you do and what you did to us was exemptional, you were the first to the camp and did all the setup and each day we found everything in place. it was difficult for us to even trek with only our daypack but you did it easily and faster with the rucksacks.
I have to say it takes the entire team's efforts for one to conquer the mountain.
Thanks, Ahambi Tours for giving us the best team.
I hope to meet the team in the near future
I would highly recommend this agent.
December 6, 202316 Amazing Days in Kenya with Stunning Agent. - It was our first time in Africa so we had to ensure we got the best agent for our trip. after our internet search and several inquiries from different agents,... read more we settled for Ahambi Tours. The timely response and well-articulated answers to our email gave us a lot of confidence in them on top of this they gave us a very practical proposal for our 16 days in Kenya which was to include Mt. Kenya trekking, Wildlife safari, and a visit to Diani Beach.
Upon arrival at the Airport, it was the first time to experience the agent in person. we were welcomed to Kenya by Jane who gave a brief introduction to our trip to Kenya. By this, we could tell we were in good hands.
Our first visit was a 5-day Mt. Kenya trek using the Sirimon to Chogoria route which was recommended to us by the agent mainly due to the weather conditions at the mountain during that time as it was the only route with accommodation in huts. for sure camping would have been next to suicide based on how the weather was at that time. Our guide was Eldada and I have to say the guy has what it takes for his job, is very knowledgeable about the mountain and Kenya, professional, and very caring. Our chef was Samuel, Thanks a lot for the delicious and a lot of meal that you gave us, we miss the soup which was served every day. To the rest of the team in the mountains thanks a lot for everything.
Next was our 8-day Safari. We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo. This was perfectly planned and our tour guide Fred who was also the driver made it even more enjoyable. All the big five are in our memory cards. I have to say the Safari was Amazing, I can't imagine how one country has all this beauty.
Diani Beach; This was the climax of our visit to Kenya and we had very quality time at the beach.
Ahambi Tours thanks so much for organizing and coordinating a great trip for us we felt at home.
I will recommend this agent to anyone without any doubt.
Once again thanks for everything.
Cheers!
November 20, 2023Great Adventure with Ahambi Tours! - During our visit to Kenya we went on a 5-day Mount Kenya hike and a 4-day wildlife safari at the Masai Mara.
The trip was well-organized by Ahambi Tours, and... read more our guides James and Mark were knowledgeable and very friendly throughout the journey.
The highlight of Mt. Kenya hike was reaching the summit, which was a challenging but rewarding experience. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, and we felt real sense of accomplishment. The hike itself was well-paced, with plenty of rest stops and a lot of foods.
The Masai Mara safari was equally amazing, with plenty of opportunities to see wildlife up close. I have to say that Masai Mara is a must visit for anyone who loves wildlife
Throughout the trip, Ahambi Tours team were exceptional. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. Special thanks to the team in the office, the timely response to our emails before the trip made the planing very easy for us.
Overall, I would highly recommend Ahambi Tours to anyone who loves adventure . It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.".
Thanks Ahambi Tours for the great Job.

I am very glad we stumbled upon them as they were... read more truly amazing from the second we landed & took off from Kenya!!! The whole team are extremely friendly and super helpful throughout the whole time! They answered all of our questions, provided delicious food and much more. David & Charles (our guides) & their team for the hike were truly kind people.
This company is locally owned which was also important to me. My hope is that my money goes to the local people within and not have any hidden fees going elsewhere. Ahambi Tours provides exactly that which I really appreciated! We received amazing souvenirs included in our trip - a shirt and a bottle of water! Our safari experience was also incredible! We visited Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Park with our amazing guide - Moses! We were shown around in a great way and once again with a friendly & happy guide. I truly love that I chose to visit Kenya with this company. Both of us plan to visit again and book with Ahambi Tours within the next few years!

As usual the guides are very knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive.
The scenery are breathtaking, with a variety of landscapes ranging from rainforest to alpine desert.

Throughout the trip, our guides and porters were exceptional. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was comfortable and enjoyable.
Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves adventure and wants to experience the beauty of Kilimanjaro. It was an epic journey that I will never forget. Am grateful to the Ahambi Tours team for making it possible.
April 26, 2023I recently hiked the Sirimon-Chogoria route with Ahambi Tours. My friends and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guides, Eldad and Patrick, were knowledgeable, attentive, and... read more very encouraging. We felt safe and taken care of during the hike.

October 27, 2022My three friends and I had an INCREDIBLE experience with Ahambi Tours hiking 4 days to reach Lenana Peak in Mt Kenya National Park. Eldad and Patrick were fantastic guides,... read more extremely knowledgeable about the mountain, gear, nutrition and safety. We felt taken care of from Charles picking us up at the airport to hiking the summit in the dark to making it all the way back down to drop off.

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.
August 6, 2022Our 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
July 5, 2022My 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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to hike Mt Kenya or Mt Kilimanjaro.Kers Tin2022-01-10We did a 5-day hike with Ahambi tours on Mt. Kenya, walking up the Sirimon route and down the Chogoria route. Our guide was Eldad and he was just amazing. It seems he knows everything about plants and nature surrounding us. We also had a lot of general questions about Kenya that he was very happy to answer at all times. We were a bit unlucky with the weather and one of us also suffered a bit from altitude sickness, so he flexibly rearranged the plan and we summited on the third afternoon with nice weather accompanied by Jackson, one of the porters. Still, Eldad was happy to do the planned sunrise summit on the fourth day with only one of us. He also helped us a lot if there were difficult parts on the hike. Regarding food, it was just amazing, always 2-3 courses and we loved the soups in the evening to heat up! So far, we would give 5 stars, however at the end of the trip, we didn't give enough tips. This was clearly communicated and we were pushed to give more. We thought this was really rude, unprofessional and inappropriate, as this should be seen on a voluntary base and not as a requirement at the end of the trip. So at the end, this left unfortunately a very bad last impression of - apart from that - perfect 5 days. 4 stars only..Jane Doe2021-12-15Unexaptable!!!koen verstappen2021-08-18This is the best company for trekking on Mount Kenya.
