OUR STORY

We believe in experiencing Africa from magnificent little game lodges, a hidden beach villa or exquisite little farmhouses rather than larger hotel chains.

A group of family-focused safari specialists, The SAFARI Company is a small owner-run company with heaps of creativity that prides itself in crafting beach and bush itineraries that you won't find anywhere else. We are experts in unique family adventures and work hard to discover those hidden gems throughout Africa that promise our guests of all ages experiences of a lifetime. It is our philosophy to keep you away from the mainstream and rather let you in on the extraordinary, the beautiful, the quirky and the off-the-beaten-track destinations that will be loved by all.

OUR TEAM

Our team is based in Nairobi, Kenya and it is our daily challenge to find new and exciting places or activities that will 'wow' the most discerning of travellers. Collectively, we've been to every single one of the 1,000 lodges, villas and camps we promote. As a result, we know our stuff. We completely understand what individuals, groups or families need to make their trip a great one but better than that, we will offer tips and secrets about each destination that will transform your holiday into an incredible, jaw-dropping experience for all.

CHANIA

CHANIA

Chania grew up in Kenya on a tea plantation in Kenya’s highlands. Her father was a tea farmer and an honoury game warden, so she spent much of her time on safari (camping, no luxury hotels J). At 8, she went to school and university in the UK, which she adored, but home has always been Kenya, where she returned the minute she finished university. Chania has been in the tourism industry for 30 years now and her passion remains ‘anything natural’, she loves any sport that involves a ball, and absolutely adores having fun. Chania founded The SAFARI Company in 2009 to cater for those looking to experience a safari adventure how she always has, away from mass tourism, but with a very varying budget.

Did you Know? Chania has been to almost every single lodge, tented camp, hotel and farmstay in Kenya, most of them with her kids in tow.
