Delving Further Into How We Operate
Over the years we have sidestepped the lure of operating only popular tourist routes, encompassing unique ecological areas of East Africa, adventure (river rafting, mounting climbing, hiking, sailing, cycling, etc); special interest and cultural / historical tours incorporating experiences of East Africa.
Include wild game; bird watching; game fishing; photographic safaris; adventure excursions in search of insects, fossils, rare mammals and plant life; over-landers & trails.
A – Self-driven customizable tours with detailed personal itineraries with optional side excursions.
B – Tourist Guided Tours / Safaris in custom built safari minivans with carefully selected KPSG (Kenya Professional Safaris Guides) registered guides to provide professional skills and knowledge of the areas within which we operate.

The vehicles consist of 9 seater minibuses and 7 seater land cruisers. They have game viewing hatches and are equipped with cool boxes to store your drinks.
