Local roots. Personal journeys.
We believe every journey deserves to be remembered — and written down. That's why we're African Diaries.
African Diaries Travel was founded in Nairobi with a simple idea: the best safaris are personal.
Instead of one-size-fits-all packages, we listen first — then craft journeys that reflect how you want to travel. Our planners, guides and partners know Kenya and East Africa intimately — the quiet corners of the Mara, the best time to see the flamingos, and the beaches where the dhows sail at sunset.
- Kenyan-owned and Nairobi-based
- Tailor-made itineraries with transparent quotes
- Supporting conservation and local communities

Good to know
Are your tour prices fixed?
No. Every package is fully customisable, so we share a personalised quote based on your dates, group size, accommodation level and any changes you request.
When is the best time to visit Kenya?
Kenya is a year-round destination. The dry seasons (roughly June–October and January–February) are ideal for game viewing, and July–October is the Great Migration season in the Masai Mara.
Do you arrange airport pick-ups?
Yes — we offer meet-and-greet transfers from JKIA, Wilson Airport, Moi International (Mombasa) and Ukunda (Diani).
Can you combine Kenya with Tanzania, Uganda or Rwanda?
Absolutely. We regularly combine Kenyan safaris with Zanzibar beach stays and gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak season (July–October and December holidays) we recommend booking several months ahead. Gorilla permits in particular are limited.
