Our story
Born in Kenya, built for explorers
Safarizuru was born from a simple belief: Kenya's wild places, its people and its cultures deserve to be experienced up close, not through a bus window or a glossy brochure.
We are a Kenyan-owned travel brand under Foursix Zuru Africa Ltd, licensed by the Tourism Regulatory Authority. From the Maasai Mara and Samburu to Mount Kenya's trails and the white sands of Diani, we plan and run trips we'd be proud to take ourselves.
Whether you join one of our weekend group hikes, book a private safari or ask us to build something completely your own, you get the same thing: honest advice, careful planning and people who care about your experience from the first WhatsApp message to the drive home.

What makes us different
Local experts
We are Kenyans, and our guides and trail leaders have spent years in the parks, forests and mountains we visit. You get insider knowledge of the best viewing spots, the quietest trails and the stories behind the places you see.
Tailor-made or join a group
Join a weekend group hike or overland trip and meet like-minded adventurers, or let us build a private safari around your dates, budget and pace. Flying or road, one day or ten, we plan it around you.
Pay your way
Secure your seat with the deposit shown on each trip page, then pay the balance in instalments via M-Pesa with Lipa Mdogo Mdogo. No interest, clear prices in KES, USD or EUR, and no hidden fees.
Real people, real support
Book online or on WhatsApp and you'll always reach a real person. We're with you before you travel, on the ground during your trip, and after you get home.
Vetted stays and vehicles
We personally vet the camps, lodges and homes we work with, and we travel in well-maintained safari vehicles and tour transport, so comfort and safety are never left to chance.
Licensed and responsible
Safarizuru operates under Foursix Zuru Africa Ltd, licensed by the Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA1/47/C04/67073). We follow Leave No Trace principles and work with local communities so that travel benefits the places we visit.
Safety comes first
Every trip starts with a clear safety briefing and is led by experienced guides or trail leaders carrying first-aid kits. We keep an eye on weather and park conditions, and we'll change or postpone plans rather than take risks with your safety.
