About Royal Private Safaris

We respect wildlife and natural habitats, support local communities, and minimize your environmental impact during your travels. We encourage our travellers to follow the same set of ethics. ....less

The historical context of the project lies in recognising that the impact of development initiatives is often limited without active participation. Traditional approaches that address either educational or environmental challenges in isolation are critiqued for their inability to create lasting change. The Trees Of Knowledge project adopts a community- centric approach, engaging with schools, parents, and local stakeholders to create a collaborative environment where everyone plays an active role in fostering educational and environmental well-being. ....less

Royal Private Safaris has been steadily growing due to a satisfied client base. We are proud to say that as local Kenyan citizens, we are one of the few professional and successful tour companies owned and operated by local indigenous Kenyans here in Kenya—a source of great pride and distinction. We are unique in that we specialize exclusively in Kenya with no desire to expand and run tours around the globe. We focus all of our love and attention on our guests’ experiences in our homeland. As any traveller knows, value is about much more than the cost of the safari. It’s also about the quality of your experience, and we’re proud of the hard work of our staff in Kenya. They ensure you’ll enjoy an unforgettable experience, whether during our private custom safari or on any of our planned or pre-booked group tours. Our mission is to offer meaningful Mid Range & Luxurious personalized Safaris available in Kenya.

Because we are locals we understand the true meaning of experiencing the real flavour of the rich Kenyan culture, this is the reason we set up the cultural excursions for you. Kenya is home to many fascinating tribes. While on safari you have the opportunity to learn first-hand about these ancient cultures by visiting a remote village in the bush. We learn of the tribe’s social system, traditions, customs and place in today’s Kenya. Life in these villages has changed little over the centuries. Mud and thatched huts often house many generations, and we are invited into these homesteads to join the tribe in traditional dances and songs. The warm brilliant smiles of these people are matched by the brilliant colours of the elaborate beads and cloths with which they adorn themselves. This allows you to discover what makes this country so mystical and yet so inviting when you meet friendly people who call it home. Their dignified and hospitable welcome will be a memory long treasured.

Every Royal Private Safaris programme is guaranteed to depart as scheduled, regardless of group size. With us, once your departure date has been confirmed and we have received your deposit, you can rest assured that your safari will take place. We pride ourselves on making, and keeping, this promise to our travellers.

Nothing comes as more of a surprise to visitors than the magnificent standard of deluxe accommodations found in the bush. Travellers expect lodge and camp experiences to be enjoyable but never do they expect them to be so luxurious and romantic. We personally select every lodge and camp for its singular beauty, evocative atmosphere and spectacular setting. With elegant architectural designs reminiscent of indigenous village dwellings, our safari lodgings blend harmoniously into the Kenyan landscape and impart a spirit of tranquillity. Our choice and selection of your accommodation ensure that the spirit of adventure follows you wherever you go – and wherever you stay.

Your journey in the bush involves exhilarating days on the trail of Kenyan wildlife, making the quality of your ground transportation of the utmost importance. For that reason, we are pleased to provide only the finest state–of–the–art safari vehicles for your sojourn with us. Soft seats with headrests, big leg space and good suspension combined to make for a very comfortable ride across the Kenyan plains. Every traveller is furthermore assured of a window seat directly under a pop-up roof while in our safari vehicles. Our Safari vehicles are additionally outfitted with cool boxes, stocked with ample bottled water, and carry not more than seven guests. ....less

n numerous underserved communities, access to quality education remains a significant barrier, perpetuating cycles of limited opportunities and hampering the potential of deserving students. Financial constraints often force talented individuals to forego educational opportunities, leading to a perpetuation of poverty and hindering overall community development. The project addresses this educational inequality by providing comprehensive financial assistance for tuition, textbooks, uniforms, and other educational necessities. By breaking down these financial barriers, the initiative aims to empower students economically and socially, offering a transformative trajectory towards long-term prosperity. ....less

Simultaneously, the project acknowledges the critical importance of environmental stewardship in an era marked by climate change and ecological degradation. The inclusion of tree planting and environmental education within the project is a strategic response to the environmental challenges faced by communities. Establishing tree nurseries in partner schools serves as a proactive step towards enhancing local biodiversity, fostering ecological balance, and instilling a sense of environmental responsibility among students, parents, and the broader community. ....less
