Who We Are?

Our Journey to the Mountains

Budget Hikers began with a simple idea: to share the breathtaking beauty of Kenya’s landscapes with everyone, regardless of their budget. Founded in 2025 by Charo Kalume and Francis Gitonga, we were a team of passionate hikers tired of expensive tours that felt out of reach. We envisioned a company that offered affordable, safe, and unforgettable adventures, led by experienced local guides who know and love these trails as much as we do.
