Our Story

Born on the Mara, Raised on the Kenyan Coast

Sun & Safari was founded in 2015 by a small group of Kenyan guides and travel planners who kept meeting the same traveller: someone who had booked a safari with one company and a beach stay with another, and spent the middle of their holiday untangling missed transfers, mismatched dates, and double-charged park fees.

We believed there was a better way — one company, one consultant, one seamless itinerary that treats the bush and the beach as two halves of a single experience. A decade later, that idea has carried more than fifty-five bespoke holidays from the Mara River to the reefs of Watamu.

Every member of our planning team has personally travelled the routes we sell. When your consultant recommends a tented camp near the Talek River or a quieter stretch of Diani, it is because they have slept there, eaten there, and watched the sunrise there themselves.

What We Stand For

Our Mission & Values

Our mission is simple: to design Kenya holidays so well-sequenced that our guests never think about logistics — only lions, reefs, and sunsets.

Honest, Local Expertise

No exaggerated promises. We tell you when the migration is unlikely, when the rains are coming, and which lodge genuinely earns its price.

Community First

Our guides are recruited from communities adjacent to the parks and the coast, and a share of every booking supports local conservancy projects.

Conservation Minded

We route clients through conservancies that fund wildlife protection, respect off-road rules, and cap vehicle numbers at sightings.

Safety Without Compromise

Vetted vehicle fleets, insured partner lodges, and a 24/7 emergency line manned in Nairobi for every day our guests are in the country.
