Five-Star Experiences
Consistently rated 5 stars by our guests across over 100 verified reviews.
Designer Safari was founded in 2001 with a single conviction: that a great safari is not about ticking boxes — it's about connection. Connection to the land, to wildlife, to communities, and to the people you travel with.
Operating as a licensed Tour Operator, we design bespoke journeys across East Africa. From the sweeping plains of the Maasai Mara to the cloud forests of Bwindi, every itinerary is tailored to your pace, your interests, and your sense of adventure.
Our guides are not just drivers — they are naturalists, storytellers, and hosts. Our planners are not just coordinators — they are passionate advocates for the places they know and love.
› Plan Your SafariEvery safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
We are not a booking engine. We are a team of East Africa specialists who personally design each journey, oversee every detail, and stay with you from the first enquiry to the moment you land back home.
Locally Rooted
We live, operate and breathe East Africa from our base in Karen, Nairobi. Our guides know every park, every trail, every season.
Bespoke Itineraries
No templates. No off-the-shelf packages. Every safari is crafted around your interests, timeline and budget from scratch.
Always Reachable
Your dedicated planner is available before, during and after your safari. When you're in the field, someone who knows your trip is a call away.
Seamless End-to-End
Airport transfers, park fees, flights, meals and accommodation — every detail is handled so you can focus entirely on the experience.
"This was more than a vacation — it was a glorious adventure filled with wildlife, culture, and exceptional care. Every detail was thoughtfully handled."
"Everything felt seamless and VIP from airport pickup through our entire two-week journey across Kenya's parks. I never once had to worry about logistics."
"Our guide Said made our trip unforgettable — always cheerful, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew where the wildlife would be before we even asked."
