Safaris built by people who live here

Jambo African Safaris is a locally rooted team turning East Africa into unforgettable journeys, one carefully planned day at a time.

Our story

Jambo began with a simple belief: a great safari should feel personal, not packaged. What started as a handful of guides sharing the landscapes they grew up in has grown into a full travel company spanning Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

Today we plan wildlife expeditions, gorilla treks, cultural journeys and beach escapes for travellers from all over the world, while keeping the same hands-on care we started with. When you book with us, you are working with the people who actually run the trip on the ground.
