African Hartebeest Safaris is a proudly KATO-bonded tour operator based in Kenya. While Kenya remains our specialty, we offer expertly guided safaris across Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. From the Masai Mara to gorilla forests and great migrations, our custom itineraries deliver depth, safety, and meaning. With local knowledge and care, we create journeys that honour people, wildlife, and place.
We take you places where nature lives, cultures thrive, and memories stay forever.
African Hartebeest Safaris began with a simple mission—to share the untamed beauty of East Africa through journeys that are personal, ethical, and unforgettable. Born in Kenya and backed by a passion for conservation, the company quickly grew into a trusted name for travelers seeking more than just a holiday.
With years of experience across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda, African Hartebeest Safaris now offers tailor-made safaris designed around each traveller’s interests. Whether it's watching lions stalk the Mara plains, tracking gorillas through Uganda’s misty forests, or witnessing the drama of the Serengeti migration, every itinerary is built from the ground up—crafted to match the pace and curiosity of the traveller.
We are proud to be KATO-bonded, ensuring professionalism, safety, and reliability across all experiences. But it’s our people who make the difference—guides who grew up near the parks they now lead safaris in, and teams that prioritize local partnerships and sustainability at every turn.
Our journeys go beyond game drives. They include stories shared around campfires, community visits that uplift, and accommodations that respect both environment and culture.
At African Hartebeest Safaris, we believe that meaningful travel begins with understanding. We don’t just take you to East Africa—we connect you to it. Our goal is simple: to help you experience the richness of this region in ways that are real, respectful, and deeply rewarding.
This is more than travel. This is your story written across East Africa’s wild landscapes—with African Hartebeest Safaris guiding the way.
Our team is a blend of passionate guides, dedicated hosts, and skilled planners who bring Africa to life. With years of experience and deep local knowledge, they ensure every journey feels effortless and meaningful. From wildlife tracking to cultural insights, they handle every detail, leaving you free to enjoy the beauty, stories, and adventures that make East Africa unforgettable.
Every journey supports local efforts that protect wildlife and uplift surrounding communities sustainably.
Together, we grow forward.
Giving Back Goes Far.
"Let your safari mean more, crafted with care, led by locals, and rooted in East Africa’s nature, culture, and conservation values."
At African Hartebeest Safaris, responsibility is woven into every journey. We go beyond sightings and scenery to ensure each safari contributes meaningfully to conservation, culture, and community.
Here’s how we make an impact:
We believe safaris should protect the places they explore. That’s why every detail—from who you meet to where you stay—is thoughtfully chosen to create a safari that matters, both to you and the places you visit.
We only include cultural visits that are community-led and fairly compensated.
Storytelling, art, and rituals are shared in settings that value dignity over performance.
We work with eco-certified camps that use solar energy, composting, and plastic reduction systems.
Internal operations follow eco-guidelines, reducing our carbon footprint across transportation and logistics.
We prioritize local hiring, training guides, and staff from the very regions you explore.
Tourism income helps fund education, conservation, and small businesses in rural safari-adjacent communities.
Game drives follow ethical viewing distances and avoid disrupting natural animal behaviour.
Guides are trained in low-impact practices that promote awareness and respect for all species.
At African Hartebeest Safaris, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all trips. Every safari is carefully customized to suit your travel goals, comfort preferences, and pace. Unlike large commercial operators, we work with a small, dedicated team that gives every guest personal attention from planning to completion.
As a KATO-bonded company, we uphold the highest standards of safety, reliability, and ethical practices. Our focus is not only on delivering memorable wildlife experiences but also on supporting conservation and benefiting the communities we operate within.
Our core focus is on Kenya, where we are proudly based. From the iconic Masai Mara to the scenic Amboseli and Samburu reserves, we know the country inside out. We also operate tailor-made safaris in Tanzania, offering access to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.
For travelers seeking more, we can extend your journey to include gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. All tours are private, fully customized, and can begin on any date you choose.
Absolutely. Whether you're a seasoned safari-goer or visiting Africa for the first time, we adapt your itinerary to match your level of comfort and curiosity.
Families with children enjoy our slower-paced safaris with engaging guides, handpicked accommodations, and activities suitable for all ages. First-time travelers appreciate the seamless planning, local insights, and 24/7 support we provide throughout the journey.
We’re committed to more than just great game drives. As a company rooted in Kenya, we support responsible tourism by working with locally owned lodges, hiring expert guides from surrounding communities, and including cultural experiences that are respectful and community-approved.
Conservation fees and select safari activities also contribute directly to wildlife protection, anti-poaching efforts, and education programs. Sustainability is not a marketing term for us—it’s embedded in our everyday choices and partnerships.
Our custom safaris range from $150 to $600 per person per day, excluding international flights. This range depends on the type of accommodations you choose (mid-range or luxury), the number of days, and your selected destinations.
Since all tours are private and built around your preferences, we offer flexible pricing options to match your budget while ensuring high-quality service, comfortable stays, and experienced guides throughout the trip.
“It starts with your ideas. We turn them into an authentic safari filled with wonder, freedom, and wild beauty.”
