Mt Kenya: a dream come true

Mar 2018 • Solo

YHA Kenya Travel Tours & Safaris organised for me a 3 days trekking on Mt. Kenya and it has been an unforgettable experince. I left alone because in that period there weren't other groups to join with. I was a little bit worried about this, but the guide Joseph was very proffesional and attentive to my needs during the trekking. James, the owner of the agency, hosted me the day before and the day after the trekking in Nairobi and his family and him took care of me like a daugther. I'll never forget it.
