Karibu — Kenyan tour operator

Kenya, composed around you

No set packages. No crowds on a schedule. Every journey we run is designed from a blank page — your dates, your pace, your Kenya — and quoted just for you.

What we arrange

One team, every part of the journey

From a single morning's excursion to a coast-to-savannah itinerary, everything is planned, booked, and run by the same people you first speak to.

Private multi-day safaris

Tailor-made circuits through Kenya's parks and conservancies — your own guide, your own vehicle, your own pace.

Day tours & excursions

Nairobi National Park at dawn, elephant and giraffe sanctuaries, Great Rift lakes — full days, done properly.

The Kenyan coast

Diani's white sand, dhow sails, and marine parks — the unhurried ending a safari deserves.

Transfers & logistics

Airport pickups, internal flights, hotels, and park tickets — the connective tissue, quietly handled.

The Tishmac way

Travel arranged the old way — personally.

We are a Nairobi-based team of guides, drivers, and planners who believe a safari should never feel mass-produced. That is why we publish no set itineraries: we begin with a conversation, and shape each journey around the people taking it.

A dawn game drive before the parks fill. A quiet conservancy over a crowded circuit. Lunch where the view earns it. The details differ with every traveler — the care behind them never does.

I

Entirely tailor-made

Private departures built to order — from a single Nairobi morning to a week crossing the country.

II

Guided by locals

Your guide grew up with these parks — the gates, the seasons, the places the wildlife actually is.

III

Seamless, door to door

Pickups, park tickets, timings, and vehicles — quietly handled, so the day simply unfolds.

Planning your journey

Three steps, no obligation

  1. 1

    A conversation

    Tell us your dates, your party, and what you dream of seeing — a few lines are enough to begin.

  2. 2

    A private itinerary

    We return a considered plan and a clear, personal quote — then refine it with you until it fits perfectly.

  3. 3

    The journey

    Pickup details arrive before you travel, and a real person stays within reach throughout.
