Why Tai Trails
A small team of Kenyan hikers running Kenyan hikes.
We're not a booking aggregator. Every Tai Trails trip is led by a guide on our team, paid above industry rates, who's done that route in every season.
Meet the teamWe pace for summits
Our 5-day Mount Kenya itinerary has a 92% summit success rate — meaningfully higher than the regional average. The difference is built-in acclimatisation.
Safety isn't optional
Every guide carries an oximeter and a satellite communicator. Every multi-day trip runs with a fully-stocked medical kit and emergency oxygen on call.
Fair-pay crew, always
We pay porters above KPAP / KMGA rates with transparent tip pools. We're proud of who walks with us.
Kenyan-owned, Kenyan-led
We're a Kenyan company, founded by Kenyans, with crew from every region we operate in. Tourism dollars stay where they should.
Trail stories
Real summits. Real people. Real reviews.
"Tai Trails took us up Sirimon and down Chogoria over five days. Kibet, our guide, watched the group like a hawk and got every single one of us — including my 60-year-old dad — to Point Lenana at sunrise. Best trip I've ever taken."
"I'd done Machame once before with a different operator. The food, pacing and overall organisation with Tai Trails was a completely different league. We summited on a calm, clear morning — Uhuru Peak just for us."
"I'd never camped a day in my life. The Suswa weekend changed that. The cave tour was unreal and the Maasai elders we ate with were so generous. Already booked the Aberdares trip next month."
"We did the Loita trek as a couple. Six days of walking with the Iltepes elders. Hard to describe — it's not a holiday, it's a slow rearrangement of how you see things. Worth every shilling."
"Organised our company off-site through Tai Trails — 24 people, Naivasha + Longonot, full logistics. Zero stress on my end. They handled everything from buses to dietaries to a slightly drunk team member at 2am."
"Best photography trip I've done in East Africa. Two mornings of Kilimanjaro at sunrise from the Chyulus, plus the lava caves. The team carried tripods, knew the light, and pre-set the camps in golden hour. Chef's kiss."
