Superb Service
The agency gives great experience in safaris. We connected with Jane and her speedy response to everything is one of the best things about her. She booked best of the properties within limited time given it was December. All our requests and expectations were met. Paul the guide provided is an expert in safaris, very knowledgeable and kind. We had a wonderful time exploring the jungles with Paul. I would definitely recommend this company for a great adventure.

A trip of a lifetime
I cannot say enough good things about Kenan Travel and Tours. My interest in taking a Kenyan safari was triggered by a reasonably priced tour I saw, but upon researching the company I found their reviews lacking. A search for a Nairobi-based company led me to Kenan, whose reviews were outstanding. I was not disappointed, and I can say everything involved with the eventual safari I took with them was top-notch.
The planning stage was professional and smooth. When I contacted Kenan by email, I gave them a rough idea of what I would like to do. They responded in a timely fashion with an itinerary for a 10-day safari with some options in lodging and with a cost for my private tour that was very reasonable. For all the questions I had leading up to the trip (mosquitoes, vaccinations, tipping, etc), Leah was very timely with her responses. When time came for the safari to begin, I was met at the airport by the owner Jane, who gave me a rundown on how the trip would go. Jane also met me at the airport when the safari was completed to get my feedback on how the safari went. All very friendly and professional.
I also cannot say enough good things about my driver Nelson. I was at ease with Nelson from the get go. He had a good sense of humor, and proved experienced, knowledgeable, and informative. Above all, he had a strong desire to see I had the best safari ever. We started off down the road as he was my driver and I was his guest, but in no time we were traveling as friends. The animals we saw, the conversations we had, made this an incredible adventure and I cannot thank Nelson enough.
I HIGHLY recommend Kenan for your African safari, for your trip of a lifetime

Jane went above & beyond our expectations!
We had an incredible experience working with Jane from Kenan Travel in Nairobi! From start to finish, Jane went above and beyond to make sure our trip was seamless and unforgettable. She arranged everything for our safari in the Maasai Mara as well as our beach getaway to Diani, and every detail was handled perfectly.
Jane was always available to answer our many questions, and when we decided to extend our stay in Diani, she was incredibly flexible and helpful in rearranging our plans. What truly stood out was her personal dedication—she stored our extra luggage and even hand-delivered it to our hotel after the safari!
Jane’s professionalism, warmth, and constant support made our trip stress-free and truly special. We can’t recommend her and Kenan Travel highly enough. Thank you, Jane!
A Truly Incredible Safari with Kenan Travel and Tours
We had the most amazing experience with Kenan Travel and Tours. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and full of personal touches that made the trip truly unforgettable.
Jane was our main contact and she was outstanding. From the first WhatsApp call to helping with payment, meeting us at the airport when we arrived, and even coming to see us off before we left Kenya, she went above and beyond.
Our itinerary took us to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. We chose a budget package, so we expected basic accommodation, but every place we stayed was clean, comfortable, friendly, and had plenty of good food. As a lovely surprise, we were upgraded for one part of the trip, which added a bit of unexpected luxury.
Our safari driver John was another highlight. While other drivers rushed around and got too close to the animals, John took a calmer, more experienced approach. He knew exactly where to position us to get the best sightings without disturbing the wildlife. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable close-ups with lions, elephants, rhinos (black and white), leopards, hyenas, and so many others.
The safari vehicle was spacious and perfect for game drives, with big windows, a pop-up roof, and cold water available whenever we needed it.
Paying was easy and secure. We sent a small test transfer first, Jane confirmed it instantly, and then we sent the balance with total confidence. Everything was handled professionally.
Kenan Travel and Tours are certified by the Kenyan Tourist Board and they really do go the extra mile. We’re already planning our next adventure with them in 2026, including gorilla trekking in Uganda and beach time in Zanzibar.
If you’re thinking of booking a safari in Kenya or an East African adventure, don’t hesitate to contact Jane. This is a company that genuinely cares and delivers. Five stars all the way.
