Geoffrey’s Travels is a Kenyan-owned boutique safari company dedicated to designing immersive, personalized journeys across East Africa’s most iconic and undiscovered landscapes. Established in 2017, we blend deep local knowledge, luxury-in-the-wild hospitality, and ethical travel practices to create safaris that go beyond sightseeing—they become transformative adventures.
Home / About Us
Geoffrey’s Travels was founded in 2017 by a team with a lifelong connection to Africa’s wilderness. Our roots trace back to the Kenyan bush—where our founder grew up exploring parks like Amboseli and Samburu as the son of a Kenya Wildlife Service warden. This childhood immersed in nature instilled a profound respect for Kenya’s ecosystems, cultures, and stories.
Years later, after guiding safaris across Africa for decades, we realized travelers craved more than just “standard” tours. They wanted journeys as unique as they were—trips that ventured beyond crowded routes and into the heart of Africa’s hidden gems. That’s how Geoffrey Travels began: a small, passionate team dedicated to crafting safaris that feel personal, purposeful, and deeply connected to the land.
To design unforgettable African experiences that honour our clients’ individuality, protect the wilderness we love, and uplift local communities.
Personalized Service: No two travelers are alike—your safari shouldn’t be either.
Wilderness Stewardship: We partner with conservancies and communities to protect Africa’s wildlife and cultures.
Authenticity: From rare sitatunga antelope sightings in Western Kenya to stargazing in the Serengeti, we prioritize the real Africa.
Expertise: Over 30 years of guiding experience ensures every detail is perfected.
We specialize in intimate safaris (max 18 guests) and private family trips. Why? Smaller groups mean quieter vehicles, closer wildlife encounters, and itineraries that bend to your pace.
Whether you’re a birdwatcher, astrophotographer, golfer, or filmmaker, we design trips around your interests. Need permits to shoot a documentary in Kenya? We handle the logistics—you focus on the magic.
While we love the Maasai Mara, we’re equally passionate about Africa’s lesser-known wonders:
Mt. Elgon’s Mystical Caves, Lake Victoria’s Island Cultures, Tanzania’s Untamed Ruaha & Selous.
We don’t just plan trips—we craft journeys with care. Every safari is designed by our team of lifelong guides and conservation advocates. When you travel with us, you’re not just a client; you’re part of a story that respects Africa’s people, wildlife, and wild spaces.
Personal service at its best” isn’t a slogan—it’s our DNA.
We’re not just a company – we’re an extended family of birders, culture lovers, and logistical masters brought together by our love for Africa. Here’s whom you’ll encounter:
30+ Years of Bush Know-How: Our guides were raised tracking elephants in Amboseli, learning bird songs in Kakamega Forest, or driving cattle in Maasai country. They’re not drivers – they’re narrators, protectors, and your own portal to Africa’s untamed soul.
Experts for Every Interest: Bird enthusiasts, astrophotography aficionados, Danish-speaking culture guides – we find you an expert who speaks your language (literally and figuratively).
Maasai Trackers & Community Hosts: Work alongside Maasai trackers who interpret animal tracks, Samburu elders who pass down age-old survival knowledge, and Swahili chefs who instruct in coastal spice-blending.
From obtaining permits for off-grid locations to organizing bush flights in minutes, our Nairobi-based staff takes care of every detail.
Conservationists: Some of our guides used to work as rangers or wildlife scientists. They’ll demonstrate how your visit contributes to anti-poaching patrols, school programs, and re-forestation efforts.
Just returned home after 7 days of fantastic safari with Geoffrey’s safari. We were a group of 9 people and drove in 2 safaris. We experienced so much on the trip, and Geoffrey made the trip unforgettable. Even drinks he put out for us so we didn’t have to think about it all the time. Can only give the very best recommendations for Geoffrey’s Travels.
Our guide Benson and the whole team from drivers to cook to porters were incredible. They led us safely and well-fed to the peak at sunrise and back. Everyone was jolly and friendly, which made the experience even more unforgettable. Benson was very kind and calm, setting a good pace and explaining us everything from mountaineering to local animals to life in Kenya. Franco the cook served meals better than what we had in Nairobi. The porters are doing an incredible job with a smile.
The booking experience with Geoffrey Travels was easy and smooth, with Jane being very responsive. Thanks all for a trip of a lifetime!
In the beginning of November 2024 we had a marvellous safari with Geoffrey as our guide. We visited Amboseli and Tsavo West – and East. He had an enormous knowledge of his country and the animals, and we were taken from one outstanding experience to another for five days. At the end we were almost exhausted with all these goodies. Geoffrey and his kind and extremely helpfull drivers showed nothing but interest in us, and they helped us in an outstanding way in all situations with empati and care. I am a kean hobby photographer and our driver, George was very alert, that I got the best possible shots at all. We have had more expensive cruises in the Caribbean than this journey, but this safari outdid them all. We have started saving money for our next safari with Geoffrey Sendeu.
Oh my gosh! Everything was absolutely incredible!!! We are so appreciative of all your planning and execution. The mountain guides were amazing, safari guide was incredible, and Zanzibar was beautiful! We had one slight scheduling hiccup in Zanzibar and they went out of their way to make things right. They comped 3 nights worth of dinner (which was totally unnecessary but much appreciated). Everything else went flawlessly. We also have strict dietary restrictions and never had any concerns that the food we needed wouldn’t be available. We loved Africa so much! We will definitely be back. We will also refer any friends we know going to Africa to use this wonderful company.
Thank you so much for everything!
We give Geoffrey travels 10 stars, most amazing Safari tour. Great knowledge of Africa’s culture and animals. You can both see and feel that Geoffrey is very popular everywhere. Service is top notch.
The most fantastic experience both the Safari and our guides Geoffrey, Georg, John and Georg, they were super sweet and very inspiring, good at telling about the animals’ lives. They were so service-minded and had enormous empathy for us as guests, both with children and adults. We were a party of 9 adults and 8 children. We give Geoffrey and his team the best recommendations. We must set off again through Geoffrey.
Geoffrey’s Travels craft extraordinary African journeys, blending personalized adventures with impeccable service to create unforgettable safari experiences for individuals, groups, and corporate travelers alike—where every detail is perfected to exceed expectations and every moment becomes a lifelong memory.
