About Kenya Horizon Safaris

We are a team of enthusiastic nature and adventure lovers who have been passionate about outdoor activities long before turning it into our profession. Inspired by nature, we are dedicated to ensuring that you experience the true beauty that Kenya has to offer. Originally founded in Tanzania, our company expanded to Kenya in 2022 due to the growing demand for combining safaris in both Tanzania and Kenya. As a locally owned and operated company, we have made it our mission to provide unforgettable experiences for visitors to Kenya.

All of our team members and guides were born in Kenya, which guarantees a deep connection and understanding of the land, the culture and its natural wonders. We also take pride in understanding our clients’ needs, offering an authentic and personalized experience to every guest. Our team continuously updates its knowledge, gear, and equipment to ensure the highest quality of service. Having personally traveled to all of our offered destinations, we are confident in providing the most detailed and accurate information for each of our tours.

Our office is strategically located in Nairobi, allowing us to offer current and competent travel advice, as well as ensuring the highest standards of comfort and safety on our expeditions. We are a fully licensed tour operator and have hosted thousands of guests from around the globe, each leaving with lasting memories of their adventure.

All gear and equipment we use has been thoroughly tested in real conditions to ensure it performs well in all weather. Our focus goes beyond brands and names—we prioritize practical usability and comfort for both our clients and teams in the field.

Our Tents On Mount Kenya

They have specialized in importing and producing professional mountain and safari gear for the specific requirements in Tanzania & Kenya.

Large Fleet of Comfortable Vehicles:

We have our own fleet of transport so that we don’t rely on third party services in order to provide you with the best services at all times. Our vans are used for airport pickups, while the minibuses are used for taking our team to Mount Kenya. The jeeps are used for safaris in the national parks all over Kenya to provide you with the most comfortable way of transport at all times.

Minibuses for Our Teams:

Well Maintained Safari Jeeps:

All our Jeeps are custom made with a convertible roof top for a 360° degree view for game drive in the parks and 8 comfortable seats, a fridge and individual power sockets to charge your electronic devices while on safari.
