The community
You don't have to be the fastest runner, the strongest climber or the most experienced adventurer. You just have to show up.
TipwaTipwa is a movement of everyday people who choose motion, community and fitness as a lifestyle. We run, hike, swim, cycle, walk, golf, recover and grow side by side.
Different lanes, one community.
Come for the activity. Stay for the people.
Or just call +254 708 418 440 and ask us about the next one.
Seven chapters
Every chapter trains on its own schedule and they all show up for each other's big days.
hikers
Most Saturdays
Day hikes rated easy to difficult, overnight camps, and up to three big mountains a year with a training plan behind each one.
Runners
Tue, Thu & Sun
Early mornings around Lavington, Kileleshwa and Kilimani. All paces welcome, and no runner is left behind.
cyclists
3rd Saturday, 7am
A group ride out of Lavington at 7am, plus the occasional extra when the month allows. KES 1,500 a ride. Mountain bikes and road bikes both welcome, beginner support provided, and one rule that is not negotiable: no helmet, no ride.
swimmers
Wed, Fri & Sat
Structured swim sets three mornings a week, plus open water and the national Masters championships.
triathlon
Season-based
Swim, bike, run. Karen Open, Shujaa 113 and the races that come with them.
Walkers
Sundays, 6:30am
Sunday mornings at 6:30. Bring a chatty companion, or your kids, or neither. Walkers are most certainly welcome.
Golfers
Several a year
Hike-and-golf weekends and course days that turn a round into a getaway.
On the trail
A river to cross, a log someone has laid across it, and a group working out the footing one at a time. No summit, no medal. Just the bit in the middle that nobody photographs.
The adventure
There is more to fitness than a gym. There are mountains to climb, roads to ride, trails to discover, distances to conquer and experiences waiting around the corner.
Run. Ride. Hike. Swim. Train.
Discover Kenya and the outdoors through unforgettable experiences.
Push your limits and discover what you're capable of.
Build friendships, community and memories along the way.
Up to three big mountains a year
Every summit has a training plan behind it.

Corporate experiences
Great teams don't only connect in meeting rooms. We build outdoor, wellness and experiential programmes that bring people together and leave something behind.
Purposeful experiences designed around communication, trust and collaboration.
Physical or virtual, from a 10-person remote team to 300 people on a field. Tailored to the objective you bring us, not to a fixed package.
Active experiences that encourage healthier, more engaged teams.
Bonding lunches, meeting energizers, yoga and Zumba sessions, and CSR activities including tree planting.
High-energy experiences that get people moving and connecting.
Relays, tug of war, football and volleyball, run by facilitators who know how to keep 200 people involved rather than watching.
Hikes, challenges and outdoor adventures designed for your organisation.
Nature's boardroom. Trail challenges, summit goals and white water, with the same safety discipline we run our member hikes on.
Tell us what you want to achieve. We'll build the experience around it.
Quiz nights, archery, off-sites and formats that do not have a name yet. Priced against the activities you actually want.
Physical or virtual, ten people or three hundred. Priced against the activities you actually want. Tell us the objective and we'll build the day around it.

Corporate team building
The facilitation was highly engaging, well-structured and impactful. Our staff left the event feeling energized, connected and motivated. The positive shift in team spirit has been clearly evident in the workplace. Your ability to translate engaging activities into powerful organisational lessons is truly commendable.
A member since 2015
In March 2015, I signed up for a hike up Mt. Longonot. That day it rained 22 times, but the sheer joy of it, the camaraderie and the superb organization won me over. Five years later, TipwaTipwa has taken me up Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya, Mt. Meru and Mt. Elgon. Their policy of no one left behind ensures everybody ends up with an unforgettable pleasant experience.
Kilimanjaro
You didn't just organise a hike. You created a safe space for courage to rise, for limits to be tested, and for strangers to become family. Thank you for taking me to the top of Africa, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

Impact
Extending hope. Sharing love.
Community extends beyond the trails we hike and run, the roads we cycle and the events we attend. It is also about showing up for others and making a difference where we can.
Members of the TipwaTipwa community visited Murang'a Women's Prison for an outreach focused on supporting women and children through connection, encouragement and practical support. The day was conversation, shared experiences, laughter, music and reflection.
Delivered on the day
While the donations mattered, the greatest contribution was the time, compassion and dignity shared throughout the day.
Our commitment
Our activities contribute to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
As TipwaTipwa grows, we want more opportunities for members, corporate partners and friends of the community to take part in work that strengthens communities and supports wellbeing.
Extending hope. Sharing love. Building community.

Talk to us
A first hike, a marathon, a masters swim, a team day, a season of events, or something that doesn't have a name yet. Tell us the shape of it and we'll come back with how it could work.
Before you come
Still not sure? Call +254 708 418 440 and ask. Someone who has actually walked the route will answer.
Yes. We run programmes for all fitness levels, including complete beginners. Our guides and trainers will make sure you feel supported, and our running group welcomes every pace, and no runner is left behind.
Safety is the first call we make. Guides and trainers are certified and experienced, every session starts with a briefing, and first-aid kits come with us. Hike ratings can change with the weather, and we always decide on the side of safety.
Comfortable, sturdy, grippy footwear, water, snacks, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing. A small backpack helps, and a hiking pole is worth having. Gear requirements are published with each activity.
Trekkers mostly do day hikes rated easy, moderate or difficult, and we tell you which to expect beforehand. We also run occasional overnight hikes where you trek by day and camp at night.
Up to three a year, each preceded by a two to three month training plan. Mt Kenya, Kilimanjaro, Mt Elgon, Mt Meru and the Rwenzori, with new destinations added as we find them.
Yes. We partner with instructors who can take you from scratch to riding safely over longer distances. If you don't own a bike we can point you to where to rent one. Our one non-negotiable is simple: no helmet, no ride.
Membership is KES 6,000 a year. Email admin@tipwatipwa.com or call 0708 418 440 and we'll send you the sign-up form. Members get partner discounts and a branded welcome gift.
Membership is KES 6,000 a year and covers the community side of things: all seven chapters, partner discounts, the socials and the annual awards. Individual events and trips carry their own cost on top of that. Group rides are KES 1,500 a ride, and every event flyer states its price.
No. Everything we do happens outdoors, on the road, on the trail or in the water. That is rather the point.
Contact us at least 48 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule and avoid cancellation fees, which vary by event.
All kinds. Friends and families, church communities, schools and corporate teams, from small businesses to organisations bringing 300 people. Get in touch and we'll shape it around what you need.
Where are we going next?
Move. Explore. Belong.
