Unforgettable trip to Safari!
I was on a solo trip and took organized trip 2 nights to Massai Mara with these guys. The trip went over my expectations. In 1 day and a half we were so lucky too see all animals I could ever imagine including 4 big of Kenya out of 5. Our guide, Sami, was SUPER NICE! He was always punctual, cordial and patient with the group. If I come back again, I'll definitely book a tour with them again!!

Epic summit experience, very low budget tour
+ price
+ trek team of porters, chef and guide
+ food
+ prompt email communication with office
+ day 2+3 great hiking, epic summit sunrise experience
- transportation from Nairobi to the mountain and back is public transport (no mentioning before)
- first day wasted with transport and gathering food+equipment, only started hiking at 3:30pm, 2 hour paved road hike to Moses camp
- tent was dirty, old, zipper not working
- mattresses dirty, one day unacceptable
- rest day should be skipped, no relaxing possible in raining season, facilities dirty and low budget
- last accommodation at Bandas unacceptable, unsafe tenting with wildlife at tent, washroom unusable
- last day useless, several hours on 4x4 road with constant discussion when to call for transport at our costs for the entire team. Need to be clarified before. Costs up to 80 USD for vehicle.
Overall fair price, but also very low budget. Day 1 and 5 need to be discussed and agreed on before payment. With reasonable fitness only 2 days and 1 night at Shipton Camp needed. Fantastic summit experience, great chef, porters and guide. Communication with guide was limited, we always had to ask for info.

Reliable and on time.
My solo hike with Dennsland was an amazing experience. I was alone with the guide, porter and cook which make it unique experience. The 5 days hike was beyond expectation. The landscape, the view and going to the summit. I unfortunately didn't get to see the sunrise due to the weather, but experiencing the summit with the frost was a first time for me. Sam the guide was supportive and encouraging me. The only this missing was the preparation for the altitude sickness and better cloth for the cold.

A reliable and trustworthy choice
I did a 5 day trek of Mt Kenya with Dennsland Trek Tours. I chose this company because Edward was very quick to answer any queries that I had about the trip, and it seemed like good value for money. Even on the day the tour started, Edward was quick to respond to last minute questions which I really appreciated! We met our guide, cook and 2 porters on the first day, who were all very accommodating, though we didn't get the chance to talk very much with some of the crew which was a shame. Most of the time the staff and the guests hung out in different spaces. Despite this, all crew were very prepared and organized, and fed us really well (amazing food and a lot of it!). Our guide Ben was fantastic. He set a good pace and I never felt rushed. Both Kim and Ben were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Overall it was a great experience getting to the 3rd highest peak on Mt Kenya. I'm happy that I chose Dennsland Trek Tours and that everything went as smoothly as it did!

A mind-blowing experience thanks to a really professional company.
Since the very first contact through email and WhatsApp, Edward answered all of the many questions and doubts me and my friends had. We felt very well informed during all the trip and even before starting it. The company provides a really professional service starting with airport pick-up as we landed in the country; they took us to a reliable ATM when we needed to withdraw money; they made sure we were well taken care of all the time.
Boniface, our guide, was super nice, friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable; he answered all the questions we had about animals and was able to spot them from very far away. We spent a lot of hours in the van together and got to know each other, making the trips way more fun.
All the services as well as all the parks we visited (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) were worth the money. We sincerely recommend booking your safari trip with Dennsland Trekktours if you're looking for an unforgettable experience with a professional service.

Very punctual & professional Driver & Guide in Kenya.
Dennsland Trekkktours met my expectations by providing good accommodation and a good Guide & Driver Mr.Anthony, who had good knowledge & was acquainted with people & very influential in Kenya. However, DENNSLAND Trekktours arrangement partners in Tanzania were dissapointing. I fully recommend them for Kenyan Safari 100%.

Do not book with Edward! He is not honest.
I had a terrible experience with Edward. I had booked the 6 days Masai mara>Nakuru>Amboseli trip.
He was very accommodating when we planned things before the trip and then he went back on his word.
- I was subcontracted twice over to join a group safari. This is fine and what I expected. However, I did NOT expect that I would be sleeping in a different place than my group. So at the end of the game drive, I am dumped at once place and everyone else goes to another place.
- On Day 3, he promised me a game drive when we arrive in Nakuru. (After 5+ hours driving to Nakuru). He then told me it wasnt possible. So there was no game drive.
- Day 4, was supposed to be a morning game drive and then "later" drive to amboseli. Turns out that morning game drive means ~1-2 hours and the drive is cut short so you can drive 7+ hours to Amobseli. He was not clear in the itinerary that this is what it meant, I would not have agreed to spend a second day, all day driving.
We argued a lot and he would not back down. He would barely even apologize to me for lying about Day 3.

Great Value for an amazing trek
We wanted to trek up Mt Kenya and Dennsland made it happen, with many experiences on the way that made it an authentic Kenyan experience. Organizing the trip over email and WhatsApp was easy. Our guide Kim and 2 porters Jeff and Daniel were great, very friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The scenery and the experience of seeing the sunrise on top of Mt Kenya is spectacular and totally worth the effort. I would totally recommend Dennsland Trekking if you want to do Mt Kenya on a budget. They definitely provided value for the cost

Family trip at Maasi Mara-Nakuru
Had a wonderful and memorable experience at Maasi Mara-Nakuru with the help of our guide Boniface.
The latter was very nformative and did all his best to ensure that we could see the big 5.
