Excellent work
We just finished our 5D4N Mt Kenya hike today (21 Sep) organised by Duncan and his wonderful team. We started planning this trip in mid July and was in discussions with Duncan via WhatsApp since then. Duncan is quick in responding all my queries.
We started the hike on 17 Sep where Duncan picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi. After about 3 hours drive, we arrived at Chogoria town for lunch and met up with the crew members (our guide Patrick, our cook Juma, and five porters). Throughout the hike, our cook prepared more than sufficient food to ensure we have enough energy to complete our daily trek. Patrick also assisted my wife by carrying her day bag so that she can enjoy her hike with higher success of making to the summit. We made it to the summit on 20 September and the views up there were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend potential visitors planning a trip to climb Mt Kenya to contact Duncan.
Well organised and really helpful
Duncan's communication was on point, keeping me informed and answering all my questions. The porters, guides and chef were all really helpful, and they all had an amazing understanding of the nature on the mountain. The chef made some excellent food and was understanding of me being vegetarian and catered accordingly. The guides were brilliant, and answered any questions I had about the surrounding wildlife. Duncan was super helpful in dropping me back at the train station in Nairobi and picking me up from my hotel too. Overall, it was a great experience!

Well organized, experienced and responsive
Duncan from the Equatorial Star Adventure Safaris was very responsive and informative in all our e-mail messaging. The trip was well organized and because Duncan knew we were interested in plants, he selected a guide, Patrick, who was very knowledgeable about plants of Mount Kenya NP. Thanks Patrick!!
Overall, the trip was well planned and we appreciated a certain level of flexibility and itinerary changes related to our fitness level. We definitely recommend ESAS to all travelers interested in exploring Mount Kenya National Park.

Thank you !
An unforgettable climb
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Mount Kenya climb with Equatorial Star. A friend and I did the 5 day climb in February and had an amazing time. We organised everything over WhatsApp in advance with Duncan, who replied quickly to all our questions and provided us with a comprehensive list of equipment that we needed.
The actual climb itself went very smoothly, Patrick was an excellent guide and the rest of the team were very friendly and helpful. We were well looked after and the food was both good and plentiful, thanks to Juma. The actual climb was amazing. I would recommend the up Chogoria and down Sirimon route that Patrick took us on. The scenery was breathtaking. Patrick got the pacing spot on, making sure we avoided altitude sickness, but then making sure that we were the first people to the top on summit day, meaning we had the peak to ourselves before any other climbers arrived. An unforgettable experience.
Thank you to Patrick, Juma, Benson, Sam, Paul and Julius!
We hope to be back to climb Kilimanjaro with Equitorial Star at some point in the future.
