Destinations
Where our safaris run
Kenya is home, and most of our safaris begin here. We also arrange trips in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, either as standalone holidays or combined with a Kenya safari.
Choose Kenya for the Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo and the coast. Add Tanzania for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Zanzibar. Travel to Uganda or Rwanda for gorilla trekking, chimpanzee experiences and shorter regional combinations. If you have another destination in mind, tell us what you are considering.
Why Chiwo
Practical planning from people based in Kenya
When you contact Chiwo, you speak to a team in Nairobi that knows the destinations, lodges, routes and guides first-hand. We help you make decisions before you book, and we remain available while you are travelling.
Built around your dates
There are no fixed departures to fit into. Tell us when you can travel, how long you have, and what matters most to you. We will build the itinerary from there.
Clear pricing from the start
Park fees and conservation levies are included in the quote from the beginning. You receive a clear cost before confirming the trip, rather than discovering essential charges later.
Straight advice
If your dates are not ideal for what you want to see, we will tell you. Sometimes the best advice is a different park, a different route, or travelling a few weeks earlier or later.
From our founder Read the full message
Why I started Chiwo
People often ask about the name. Chiwo comes from my local dialect and means to give, or offertory. That is how I have always thought about this work. A trip is something you give someone: a place, a culture, and a connection they would not otherwise have had.
We began with one branch in Kenya. As the company has grown, what we are measured on has not changed. Trust is earned through consistency, creativity and care, and the clearest sign of it is whether clients return and whether they recommend us to people they know.
Our mission is six words long: to be our customers' only choice.

Choose the kind of trip that suits you
You may already know exactly what you want, or you may only have a few ideas. Many clients combine more than one experience in the same itinerary.

Tell us what you have in mind
You do not need a complete itinerary before getting in touch. Your travel dates, the number of people travelling, and a rough idea of what you would like to see are enough for us to begin.
We will prepare a route and a clear price for you to consider. Nothing is booked until you are comfortable with the plan.
