Our Story

Born of the bush. Built for the world.

A Kenya-based, family-run safari company crafting unforgettable journeys across East Africa since 2012.

Why we exist

Africa, the way it was meant to be experienced.

Perch Africa Safaris was born from a simple belief: a safari should never feel mass-produced. It should feel personal, intentional, and quietly extraordinary.

Our founders grew up at the edge of the Mara — guiding, tracking, and learning the land long before the world called it travel. Today, we bring that same intimacy to every itinerary we craft, for honeymooners, families, photographers, and seasoned safari-goers alike.

We work only with hand-picked camps, master guides, and partners who share our standards. Because the difference between a good safari and an unforgettable one is in every quiet, careful detail.

Our mission

To craft private East African safaris that feel personal, run flawlessly and leave the wild better than we found it.

Every journey is designed by a specialist who knows the parks first-hand, priced transparently with a full itinerary and proforma invoice before you pay, and supported on the ground from arrival to departure.

  1. 01

    Built around you, never pulled from a template

    Your dates, pace, interests and budget shape the route. We order every stop logically and keep the strongest experience for the finish.

  2. 02

    A private guide and vehicle

    Your safari is not a shared departure. Leave when you are ready, stay longer at a sighting and adjust each day with your guide.

  3. 03

    Named stays and a costed day-by-day plan

    You see the proposed camps, transfers, flights, park fees, inclusions and exclusions before you decide—not just a headline price.

  4. 04

    Availability checked before we call it confirmed

    Suggested stays remain suggestions until checked. We verify the space for your dates before issuing the booking offer.

  5. 05

    Refine the trip before you commit

    Change the route, number of nights, camp level or transport until the journey fits. Nothing is booked until you approve it.

  6. 06

    One clear path from idea to departure

    The itinerary, quote and booking details stay aligned. A 50% deposit secures the approved trip, with the balance paid closer to travel.
