Friendly, responsible and committed to quality and customer satisfaction!
Hello we are from Costa Rica and recently we used Kenan Travel for the design of our Safaril. We are so happy that we choose them. I am going to divide the review in two (Jane and Paul).
Jane was our contact in kenan, and she was amazing, excellent communication skills, very patient and she always explain with every detail all the proposals, and very good reponse time.
Paul was our guide in Kenya, he was very friendly, he knows the Parks, and he knows how to find the animals ans get to the best Spots.
He is constantly trying to give you a Good service and trying to usderstand what are your goals for the day.
If I ever comeback to África I Will definetly contact Jane and I Will ask for Paul as a guide!!!
One last thing Kenan not just give us all than they promise but at the end the gave us a very nice and unespected upgrade in our last park!!
We are so happy, our Safari was all that we wished!!

Don't overlook this excellent Tour Operator
I first found this Tour operator on safaribookings.com when searching for a good value tour several years ago and after many email exchanges with Tour manager Jane she came up with exactly what I was looking for which resulted in a memorable fly in safari to Eagle view in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy. It was going to be our final visit to Kenya but within a few years it was obvious the safari bug was still biting so after such good service we once again got in touch with Jane who again came up with an excellent value for money tour, this time with a Nairobi hotel stay and beach extension which we had previously booked ourselves. Eagle view has been renovated for the better since our last visit with luxury facilities added but one thing that hadn't changed was the amazing wildlife. Jane doesn't advertise tours on safaribookings.com at the moment but I would certainly not overlook getting in touch with her for quotes.

Excellent, Flexible Safari with Outstanding Service
I travelled with Kenan Travel on a 9-day group safari in April 2025 and had a fantastic experience from start to finish.
I'd struggled to find a scheduled group safari that matched my dates until I contacted Kenan Travel. Jane was incredibly responsive and arranged exactly the itinerary I was looking for, covering Lake Naivasha, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Nairobi.
Jane met me in person both before the safari and again afterwards, which was a lovely personal touch. The accommodation was comfortable, the food was excellent, and everything was very well organised.
Our guide, John, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable and always worked hard to make sure we had the best possible wildlife viewing. We saw elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes and many other animals, and he also went out of his way to help me visit a place of personal significance near Nairobi, which I really appreciated.
I felt safe and well looked after throughout the trip, and really enjoyed travelling as part of a small group.
I'd happily recommend Kenan Travel to anyone looking for a friendly, professional and well organised safari in Kenya.

Simply Perfect – Look No Further for Your Safari!
There aren't enough words to describe how great the Kenan Travel and Tours Team is! I contacted several operators before booking, and this team was outstanding in every single way. Faith, my contact person, was lovely! She helped me create the perfect itinerary across Nakuru, Mara, Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo, and she did so with endless patience and kindness (100+ emails). The lodges she booked were amazing, with great food and breathtaking views! The safari tour itself was unforgettable thanks to our driver, Paul Juma. He is highly experienced, knowledgeable, very kind, and absolutely amazing at spotting wildlife. Thanks to his expert tracking, we saw not only the Big 5, but also so many other incredible animals, including cheetah, which was the highlight of our tour. I cannot recommend Kenan Travel and Tours highly enough!

Trip of a Lifetime
We recently travelled to Kenya with Kenan Travel, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the very beginning, the trip was carefully tailored to our needs, with a personalised itinerary that maximised our safari time, perfectly matched our flights, and included a relaxing stay on Diani Beach at the end. Every element felt thoughtfully planned, making the entire journey seamless and stress-free.
The pricing structure was another highlight. It was clear, transparent, and flexible, with multiple options provided so we could tailor the trip to suit our budget. This made the planning process straightforward and gave us confidence that we were getting exactly what we wanted.
A special thank you goes to Jane, who managed the trip overall. She was incredibly attentive and responsive, always available on WhatsApp to resolve even the smallest queries instantly—even over the weekend. Her support throughout made a real difference and ensured everything ran smoothly.
Our safari driver, Bill, was absolutely outstanding and deserves particular recognition. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for wildlife were evident throughout, and his expert driving and positioning played a huge role in us being able to see all of the Big Five. He was also a very safe and reliable driver during transfers between parks and locations, which gave us great peace of mind.
The highlights of some of the animals we saw thanks to Bill’s navigating were black and white rhinos, cheetahs, the great migration in Maasai Mara, two leopards, lion cubs, and lots of elephants!
This trip was especially meaningful for us, as we got engaged during the holiday—and Jane and Bill went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. Jane organised private meals and special evenings at the resorts, adding a real sense of occasion. On the day itself, Bill played a huge part in making the proposal perfect: he helped find a beautiful, secluded spot, kept everything a surprise, and even set up a table with sparkling wine of his own initiative. It was a moment we will never forget.
We cannot recommend Kenan Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, personalised service, and the exceptional people they have on the ground made this a truly special experience.
We originally found Kenan Travel and Tours through various internet searches, their Tripadvisor, and on various forums. Committing to private companies can sometimes be daunting, particular with such a big purchase, but Kenan are one which you can trust.
