Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya's #1 rated female guide

Mary "Mumbi" Kariuki has been guiding on the trails of Mt. Kenya, Kilimanjaro, and other East African mountains for over 10 years now - and she's not over the hill yet. In 2001 Mary officially became the first, and only, rated female guide serving these mountains. Before she was a guide, Mary worked her way through the ranks as all African guides should have, as a porter. She is a certified Outdoors Educator (NOEP5) from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Mary also received her wilderness first responder course from NOLS as well.

Mary has an undying commitment to providing exceptional service and quality tour leadership and her company, Standout Adventures, is registered with the Kenya ministry of tourism.

Improving East African Communities:

We stand out from the crowd, not only because we organize your East African adventure to your full satisfaction, but also because 5% of all tour proceeds are donated to Openhand Orphanage.
