    Pita Safari is one of the best guiding company that I encounter as a hiker. Everything was well organized and on time. All questions I asked were answered timely. The guiding team ( Wilson, Pita, and Antony) led by Wilson was very professional, friendly, helpful, and fun to be with. I had a great time with them. I highly recommend them. Thank you Wilson, Pita, Antony and Pita Safari ! Best, Michael

    My friend and I had an absolutely fantastic time climbing Mt Kenya, with Pita Safari’s. We climbed via the Chogoria - Sirimon route, which was stunning over 6 days. Our guides (Wilson and Sammy), cook (Peter) and porters (Simon, David and John) were amazing. They took care of our every need, they were very experienced and so knew exactly how to take care of us on our hike. They were so so friendly, happy and we felt very reassured that we were in good hands. We were given more food than we could possibly eat, and it was top notch! We would highly recommend you book with Pita safari’s. And ask for Wilson as your guide!
