Best Mount Kenya Climbing Guides 2025

We recently had the privilege of being guided by Josephat on a 6-day climb to Peak Lenana on Mount Kenya. As a group of 6 men in our 50s with beginner-level climbing experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Josephat was patient, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire journey. From the very start, he made us feel safe and supported, managing both the challenges of the climb and the logistics with ease. His wealth of experience was evident in the way he navigated the mountain and ensured that everyone was comfortable and well-prepared for each day’s ascent. He was also excellent at managing the team of porters, making sure everything ran smoothly. One moment that truly stood out was when, during a particularly tough stretch, one of us jokingly mentioned how much we’d love pancakes for dinner. Josephat, always attentive to our needs, radioed ahead to the cook and arranged for a special pancake meal to be prepared for us that evening! It was a small but memorable gesture that showed just how much he cared about our experience. Josephat’s leadership, patience, and genuine kindness made this challenging but rewarding climb unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking to climb Mount Kenya. Thank you, Josephat, for everything!

Climbing Mount Kenya was the highlight of our Kenyan holiday. I can’t recommend Josphat enough. His team was unbelievably helpful and kind. They prepared delicious meals, made sure we were comfortable and had all our bags taken care of. We enjoyed our hike immensely.
