The heat of the January sun, and the formed foot trails at the foot of the mountain with banter and hiking gear…. That is how the Optiven team closed the month of January 2026. This was at the Olesekut Hike that was sponsored by Optiven and held on Saturday 31st January 2026. The event was a collaboration with Optiven partners – Born to Lead.

Speaking at the flag off, Dr. George Wachiuri, the Optiven Group Chief Executive Officer lauded all the hikers who had turned up noting that this was part of self care and a great way to manage mental tenacity. Dr. Wachiuri who joined the hikers for the first ever hike experience noted that a majority of the hikers would learn a number of things about themselves with every summit they conquer during the hike. He was welcomed at the kick off by Coach Stephen Muiru, the CEO at Born to Lead.


The hikers were later treated to a sumptuous lunch courtesy of the Optiven Group. It also provided an opportunity for the hikers to visit one of the prime projects by Optiven – located in Kimuka Ngong. The project is currently 80% sold out with investors building their dream homes in phase 1 and two respectively. The joy of partnership led to a great time of understanding the Optiven philosophy while interacting with investors at Achievers Paradise Kimuka by Optiven.
