Who We Are

An East Africa specialist, on the ground where it matters.

Safari Travel Plus is a boutique safari company based in Nairobi. We live where we send you. We have spent our lives in these landscapes, slept in the camps we recommend and driven the roads ourselves, so the counsel you receive is first-hand, the access is real, and nothing about your journey is left to chance.

We design private, tailor-made journeys across Kenya, Tanzania, East Africa, Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean. There are no fixed departures and no off-the-shelf packages. Every itinerary is composed from a blank page around your dates, your party and the way you like to travel.

We are deliberately small. When you travel with us you work directly with a specialist who knows your journey in detail and stays with you from the first conversation to your final evening in the bush. You are never a booking reference, and never handed down a line.

Why It Shows

We have slept in every
camp we recommend.

We do not sell places we have not been. Our team travels these routes ourselves, inspects the camps in person and knows the guides by name. It is the difference between a brochure and a recommendation you can trust.

That first-hand knowledge is the whole point of a boutique operator. We can tell you which tent has the finest view, which camp suits a honeymoon and which is wonderful with family, and where the migration tends to cross, because we have stood there ourselves. And if a camp has slipped, we will not send you there.

  • Every camp visited in person
  • Honest, first-hand advice
  • Guides we know by name
Why Safari Travel Plus

What makes us different.

The advantages of a boutique operator who lives where you are going.

On the ground, not behind a desk

We live and work in Nairobi, and we travel constantly. We have visited every park, slept in the camps and driven the roads. Our knowledge is lived, not researched.

Private and entirely bespoke

We do not sell fixed packages. Every journey is composed from a blank page around your dates, your party and your interests, and yours alone.

Africa's finest guides

A safari is only as good as its guide. Ours are among the most experienced in the field, with a deep, instinctive read of wildlife, landscape and the right moment to wait.

A specialist who knows you

You work with one person who knows your journey intimately and replies within 24 hours, usually far sooner. You are known by name, not by booking reference.

Honest, itemised pricing

A full, itemised proposal before you commit. No hidden costs, no commission-led recommendations, no surprises. What we quote is what you pay.

Travel that protects

We work with the conservancies and camps that fund wildlife protection and share their income with local communities. Your journey helps keep these places wild.

Our Journey

How Safari Travel Plus began.

Founded in 2018 by a small team of Nairobi safari specialists with a single conviction: that the finest way to see Africa is privately, guided by people who know it first-hand, with nothing left to a template.

2018

Founded in Nairobi

We opened with a small, hand-picked team and one principle: private, tailor-made journeys, honest advice, and a standard we would be proud to put our name to.

2020

Across East Africa and beyond

Our portfolio grew to Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Southern Africa. We visit every destination ourselves before we ever recommend it.

2025

A refined new chapter

A completely rebuilt experience, designed to plan your journey beautifully. The same team, the same first-hand expertise, the same quiet attention to detail.

What impressed us early on was how quickly Caroline replied as we went back and forth. She was endlessly patient with our questions and made the whole process feel effortless. The safari itself exceeded every expectation. The Serengeti at sunrise, with not another vehicle in sight, is something we will never forget.
