Very friendly and attentive tour operator
Me and my wife went on a 8 day personalized Safari through Kenya and Tanzania as part of our honeymoon and can fully recommend Kenan for the services they provide. We were more than happy with our Safari, the communication and the care we received from the entire Kenan team - starting with Jane and Geophrey and not forgetting the drivers.
Geophrey took care of the booking and communicated permanently with us from the first enquiry and including coming to our hotel in the evening of our arrival to greet us. He answered all my detailed questions patiently and was always very friendly in his replyis. Jane even came and picked us up personally from the airport at our arrival and the next day in the morning went with us once more through the itinerary before our departure.
The cars were exactly as expected and the drivers were very friendly during the whole trip. They were responsive and adapted to our requests. Our first driver in Kenya, Thomas, was by far the most attentive and friendly and we engaged during the whole trip in extensive and interesting conversations. Also, the accommodation was exactly the one promissed and according to our expectations. We later found out that Geophrey would call every place to make sure we arrived and that everything was ok.
At the end, Geophrey even came to the airport to wish us farewell and took a lot of time to discuss our impressions from the Safari. He asked detailed questions about each driver, the cars and the accommodation to capture any potetial room for improvement in the future. He and Jane seem to really care about the experience they offer to their guests. I appreciated this a lot!
Thank you Kenan for a great trip!

Everything went exceptionally smoothly and was professionally handled. Geoffrey was a great contact!
We had a great experience with Kenan Travel & Tours. Our group (four of us total) decided to book a 4-day safari fairly last minute (less than a month before we were set to arrive). Despite the short notice, we ended up with a fabulous trip. Shortly after submitting an information request, we received a response from Geoffrey, who was able to modify the usual 3-day itinerary to allow us extra time in the Conservancy that our schedule would allow. Communication was always very straightforward and clear. We received an itinerary that was detailed and helpful, and our air travel and accommodations went very smoothly. Absolutely no complaints--would highly recommend, and if we ever come back to Kenya for another trip I intend to use them again. Would also recommend in particular staying in the Naboisho Conservancy: much more private and relaxing than the national park; very eventful game drives (without crowds); and great service!

definitely exceeding my expectations,
I took Kenan travel because of their good rating 5/5 pretty much everywhere and I was not disappointed at all. Thank you to Jane who was kind and helpful with us with these many many communications prior to our African safari. Our 12 day tour went very well with our guides , Moses in Kenya and Joseph in Tanzania , None of our question were left unanswered . We saw everything , from Lion , Leopard , Rhino , Elephant , Buffalo , Wildebeest river crossing , Hot water bucket shower and all the funny stuff on Safari. Masai Mara & Serengeti are truly a paradise for wildlife . Everything was great , I would recomended Kenan Travel for a safari anytime , I already did to some of my friends planning a safari. Thanks again to Jane,Moses & Joseph .
superb service
We did a Rwanda and Uganda private safari. Jane was prompt in her responses and she gives an answer and explanation to whatever questions that we may have. Price is a lot cheaper than hat you would have from the big tour companies. Itinerary was customizable and flexible. Moses the driver/guide was knowledgeable and attentive to out needs. Would definitely recommend!

Attention to every detail from pickup to drop off.
First time in Nairobi and Masai Mara for 3 day trip and turned out to be the best experience of lifetime. Geophrey from Kenan travels organized a great trip and was in constant communication with all updates. Picked an excellent safari camp in Mara eden safari camp and the best Masai guide anyone can wish for in Moses. Would definitely recommend Kenan to others for a true African experience and use them again in my future adventures. Thanks Geophrey.

An adventure we'd never forget!
Geophrey and Jeff organized a great trip for us. We went to Masai Mara for 3 days private safari and really enjoyed the time spent there.
Our driver (Jeff) was very experienced and knowing and gave us a lot of information about the animals. He was also very good at spotting them in the grass.
We even had our "celebrity moment" where we watched a male lion on the road together with the Nat Geo Wild team that were live-streaming.
Although 3 days safari-ing was not enough for us, we managed to see a lot of animals in their natural habitat. From the big 5, we managed to see everything but a Rino - they are indeed rare. We witnessed two hunts of two different leopards which were an amazing emotion.
We saw lions with their cubs and due to the fact that most of the animals are mating in January, we managed to see a lot of babies :) (giraffes, elephants, cubs... ).
Me and my girlfriend didn't want to leave!
If we go again to Kenya, we'd for sure contact Geophrey and Jeff to organize another safari for us.

A trip of a life time with Kenan Tours
I have been on over 10 safaris in many different countries in Africa, and our recent safari with Kenan Tours was by far the most magnificent one yet!! Jane is an outstanding communicator, and she was brilliant in helping us organize a trip that met the unique needs and interests of our big group of 10 family members. Jane was incredibly responsive and responsible and always a true joy to work with! And once we arrived in Kenya the real adventure began...our drivers and guides, Simon and Geoff, were wonderful, witty, and wise, and gave us an extraordinary game viewing experience! They were amazing with our children, always flexible and accommodating, and taught us so many fascinating facts about the animals. The lodges that we stayed in were gorgeous and such a good deal for the price. And the food and service we enjoyed through the trip were fantastic. Kenan Tours is an excellent company and they gave us the safari of a life time! Thank you Jane, Simone, and Geoff!!

High quality and supportive staff
Geophery worked with us to schedule and customize our safari to Amboseli and Tsavo West, customizing it to end at Mtito Andei train station so we could continue on to Mombasa at the conclusion of the tour. Julius, our driver, was sharp eyed and helpful. We had a little cabin in Amboseli and a nice room at Tuskers Lodge in Tsavo West. kenan Tours is about the best bang for the buck in Kenya...
