Built by people who grew up
on these trails.

Africa Tripees began as a two-person guiding outfit in Nairobi and has grown into a continent-wide planning team — without losing the local detail that got us started.

Our Story

From one Land Cruiser
to fifteen countries.

Africa Tripees was founded by a small group of Kenyan safari guides who were tired of watching travellers get generic, copy-pasted itineraries from agencies that had never set foot on the continent. We started with a single vehicle in the Maasai Mara and a simple promise: plan every trip the way we'd plan it for our own family.

Today our network spans Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Madagascar and the islands of Seychelles and Mauritius. What hasn't changed is who plans your trip — always someone who has actually been to the camp, walked the trail, or crossed the same river you're about to.

01

Purposeful Design

Every itinerary is built around your pace and interests first, then fitted to the best season and route — not the other way round.

02

Ground-Level Knowledge

Our planners are based across Nairobi, Kigali, Cape Town and Marrakech, not a call centre overseas.

03

Conservation-Linked Travel

We route bookings through camps and reserves that reinvest in wildlife protection and local employment.

04

Honest Pricing

The quote you receive is the price you pay — park fees, guiding and transport included, clearly itemised.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How far in advance should I book a safari?+

We recommend booking 4-9 months ahead for peak season (July-October and December-February) to secure the best camps. Off-season trips can often be arranged within a few weeks.

Are your packages customizable?+

Yes — every package on this site is a starting template. Submit a quote request and our specialists will tailor the route, lodges, and pace to your dates and budget.

What is included in the package price?+

Typically accommodation, park fees, listed activities, ground transport and a professional guide. Flights, visas and travel insurance are usually excluded unless stated — full inclusions are confirmed in your personal itinerary.

Do I need a visa or vaccinations?+

Requirements vary by country and nationality. We send a country-specific checklist with every confirmed booking, and recommend checking with your embassy and a travel clinic before departure.

Is it safe to travel to Africa?+

The regions and camps we work with are established, secure tourism corridors used by international travellers year-round. Your guide and camp team manage logistics and safety throughout.

How do I pay and is my payment protected?+

A deposit secures your booking, with the balance due before travel. Payment details and protection terms are outlined in our Terms & Conditions and Refund Policy.
