Why travel with us
We are a Nairobi team that has guided these mountains and plains for over 17 years. Here is what that means for you.
Born and raised on these mountains, our guides know every route, weather pattern and hidden camp.
Every itinerary is shaped around your fitness, dates and budget — never a copy-paste package.
Trained wilderness first responders, pulse oximeters on every climb and evacuation plans on standby.
From technical Batian summits to Maasai cultural treks and Big 5 safaris — one team, every terrain.
Fresh mountain meals, quality gear and a crew that treats you like family, not a booking number.
We plant 25 indigenous trees for every booking, restoring the forests that feed these mountains.
Real climbers & safari guests
Genuine reviews from our travellers on TripAdvisor. Every trip led by Michael and the Volcano Mountain Expeditions team.
“Amazing guide, amazing views! Great accommodations! The guides were so generous with their time and energy, they made sure we had the best experience. They shared their knowledge of the mountain and made our trip unique.”
“I climbed Mount Kenya together with Michael and two porters within 5 days. It was a wonderful experience. I had enough time to prepare my body optimally for the altitude. Michael contributed an extremely important part. I felt comfortable and safe with him throughout. He guided me well, made sure we ran at a suitable pace and was empathetic and helpful. Since I forgot my bag of fresh socks, he lent me some of his socks. Thank you Michael for the unforgettable experience.”
“Trekked Mount Kenya with Michael and his team. It was really nice and the team was amazing! Would definitely use them as a guide again.”

“This was an amazing experience! Michael is a great guide. He knows the area very well, takes good care of you, and not unimportantly he has a sense of humour. Would recommend 10/10. Cheers from Amsterdam.”
“I was on a tour in Kenya this winter. Everything was organized perfectly. Our safari trips were on time, without delays. We visited several parks and saw everything we planned. The organization of the guide was at the highest level. Thank you Michael.”

“I did a tour with Michael to Mt Kenya. It was very well organized and ensured a fun trip with lots of wildlife, good food, and learning about the local culture next to the amazing nature and scenery! Michael was very thoughtful in guiding me up in the high altitude so I didn't get sick and could enjoy the sunny summit, even seeing Kilimanjaro! It really makes a huge difference who guides you in this terrain. Thank you so much, Michael!”
