MOUNT KENYA - 17,057 FT
The trip you'll talk about for the rest of your life.
Curtis Lemon has spent 15 years guiding adventures around the world, and the last five exploring Kenya firsthand. Tell him what excites you, and he builds the trip around it.
WHY NORTHKENYA.COM
Kenya,
without the
guesswork.
Planning an African adventure can feel overwhelming. Prices vary wildly, you can't vet operators from home, and there's no easy way to know what's actually good.
Curt lives in Kenya and works with a trusted network of guides, camp owners, pilots, and captains he and his team know personally. You get one trusted point of contact who builds the whole thing around you.

ViewHOW IT WORKS
How we build
your trip.
We don't sell packages pulled from the internet. Just three steps, one trusted point of contact, and a trip built from a blank page.
01
Tell Curt the dream
An email, a WhatsApp, a phone call. What pulls at you — wildlife, a peak, a quiet beach, a milestone trip you've owed someone for years.
02
He builds the trip
Curt and his partners on the ground recommend only the places they have been to themselves. Guides, camps, pilots, captains — personally vetted.
03
You show up
We handle every connection, every transfer, every reservation. You bring the dream. We handle everything else.

THE MAN ON THE GROUND
Meet
Curt.
American by birth, Kenyan by choice.
Curt moved his family to Kenya in 2021 after 15 years guiding whitewater in the Appalachians, running fishing boats in Alaska, and leading expeditions on African peaks. He knows what good looks like, and he knows what travelers from home expect.

LETTERS FROM THE FIELD
From people who've
been there.
Curtis guided my uncle and I for six days to reach the summit of Mt Kenya. It was a truly life changing experience. His knowledge of the mountain and calm, encouraging attitude gave us confidence in the tougher moments of the climb. Thanks to his support and motivation, reaching the summit felt even more rewarding.

I have had the chance to travel with Curt and NorthKenya.com through Kenya and deeper into the African bush. No matter the setting every trip with him seems to come together effortlessly. He's great with people, keeps things running smoothly even with big groups, and somehow always makes the experience fun and memorable.
