Wakari Africa Safaris was founded out of a deep passion for East Africa and a commitment to authentic, responsible exploration. Created by seasoned safari guides with years of hands-on experience in the field, our team has spent a lifetime navigating remote landscapes, tracking wildlife, and understanding the rhythms of the land. We specialize in genuine safari experiences across Kenya and Tanzania, where each journey goes beyond wildlife sightings to include rich cultural encounters that foster meaningful connections and lasting memories.

Discover Kenya’s Untamed Wilderness in Style
Our Story
Wakari Africa Safaris was born from a shared vision among passionate local guides raised in the heart of the East African wilderness. Growing up alongside the rhythms of nature, tracking lions at sunrise, listening to elephants move across the savannah at night, and learning from elders and conservationists, our founders developed a deep connection to the land. After years of guiding travelers across Kenya and the wider East African region, we saw the need for safari experiences that were more personal, authentic, and closely connected to the people, cultures, and landscapes that define this remarkable part of Africa.
Built on real field experience, local expertise, and a profound respect for nature, Wakari Africa Safaris was established to go beyond standard routes and generic itineraries. Today, we continue this vision by creating tailor-made safari journeys that capture the true spirit of East Africa, intimate, meaningful, and unforgettable, crafted with care from the land we proudly call home.
More Adventure, More Value, More Unforgettable Safaris
Kenya sits at the heart of East Africa, offering an extraordinary mix of unspoiled beaches, vast wildlife-rich landscapes, and a vibrant cultural heritage. Renowned as one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, Kenya is an ideal starting point for an authentic African safari and a natural gateway to unforgettable adventures across the wider East African region.
Our Mission
We create tailor-made safari experiences grounded in local expertise and respect for nature and community. Our journeys connect travelers with East Africa’s wildlife and cultures in a personal and responsible way.
Vision
At Wakari Africa Safaris, our goal is to become East Africa’s leading safari company for travelers who seek authentic experiences, sustainable travel, and meaningful connections with wildlife and local cultures.
Why Travel With Us
Wakari Africa Safaris delivers outstanding safari experiences guided by deep local knowledge, personalized planning, and a strong commitment to culture and conservation. Our expert guides are born and raised in the region, with an intimate understanding of the bush, wildlife, and local communities. Every safari is thoughtfully tailored from the ground up to match your interests and travel style, creating a truly personal journey. Each experience is enriched with meaningful cultural encounters, from visits to local communities and Maasai villages to traditional storytelling, while our partnerships with eco-conscious lodges and community conservancies actively support conservation and responsible tourism. From the planning stage to your safe return home, our team offers seamless, attentive support, remaining available throughout your journey in both English and French.
Our guides are far more than wildlife spotters, they are trained naturalists, knowledgeable interpreters, and passionate storytellers who bring East Africa’s landscapes, history, and animal behavior to life. Many are certified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association (KPSGA) and have hands-on experience in conservation and community engagement. For travel and game viewing, we use well-maintained 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs, power inverters, first-aid kits, and cooler boxes, ensuring comfort, safety, and flexibility at all times. We also collaborate closely with carefully selected camps and lodges that reflect authenticity, sustainability, and local character, from family-run eco-camps to boutique and luxury safari lodges, reinforcing our promise of responsible travel and exceptional safari experiences.
