Wildlife Safari was founded by Tom Fernandes in Nairobi, Kenya, going on 50 years ago, and we owe our longevity on this ancient continent to sticking to a simple formula: safety, quality, value and service.

Over the years we’ve built our reputation on creating incredible itineraries for small groups of discerning travellers: people, who, like us, appreciate the majesty of Africa’s wild places, wildlife and wonderful people.

While our global reach has grown to service safari lovers from around the planet, we’ve remained true to our humble African roots: we’re still a family-owned and run business, and we’ve never compromised on what we stand for.

Similarly, we value our independence as an autonomous safari operator, and we ensure that we’re as up-to-date as we are objective by regularly visiting all the destinations we recommend. Despite our many years in the business, we’ve stayed curious about every aspect of safari, and we’re always seeking new experiences for our guests.

Our Guides

The guides at Wildlife safari are an integral part of this family-run company. Between the five of them, they have more than some 120 years on the team, which makes these fine gentlemen not only safari experts, but family too.

Our team in Nairobi

Wildlife Safari boasts an experienced office team in Nairobi. From operations to guest liaison and sales, these dedicated individuals will not only help you choose the best possible safari for you, but they’ll ensure every moment is as smooth as it’s unforgettable.

Our Vehicles

Wildlife Safari operates their own top-quality safari vehicles, keeping them expertly maintained in their workshop in Nairobi. Whether four-seater or six-seater, the vehicles are tough enough to cope with the harsh African terrain while still offering important safety and comfort features.
