About NLS Safaris & Travel
We plan wildlife safaris, beach holidays and tailor-made Kenya routes from Nairobi, with the aim of making every transfer, room and game drive feel connected rather than assembled from a catalogue.
NLS Safaris & Travel is based at Elroy Hub on Kiambu Road in Nairobi. Our work begins by listening to the travellers, then building a route around their dates, pace, interests, comfort and budget.
Journeys that stay with people
Kenya can be an early morning beneath Kilimanjaro, a patient hour beside a Mara pride or the first quiet afternoon at the coast after a dusty safari. Our role is to connect those moments with logistics that make sense.
Some guests arrive with a complete destination list. Others know only that they want wildlife, rest and enough comfort for the family. We can begin with either. The route should reflect the people taking it, not force them into the nearest package.
How we shape a trip
Dates, traveller ages, room needs, flight times, mobility, diet, budget and interests guide the first route. We then compare road and air access, lodge position, protected-area fees and how much of each day remains for the experience itself.
The confirmation should name accommodation, room, board basis, vehicle, transfers, fees, activities, payment terms and exclusions. Requests are separated from guarantees, and wild animal sightings are never promised.
| You tell us | We test |
|---|---|
| Dates and flights | Arrival, departure and transfer margins |
| Travellers and ages | Rooms, child rules and pace |
| Priorities | Parks, activities and guide fit |
| Budget range | Route, transport and accommodation value |
Safari, coast and the places between
We plan the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Tsavo, the Rift Valley, Laikipia and less-visited parks, as well as Diani, Mombasa, Watamu, Malindi and Lamu. A journey can stay focused on one region or combine wildlife and the Indian Ocean.
We are not limited to the packages displayed on the website. Those routes provide starting points. A different camp, private conservancy, bush flight, family house, slower road circuit or beach extension can be built when it serves the traveller better.
Clarity, care and respect
Clarity means a traveller can understand what is included before paying. Care means the room, handover and pace suit the people. Respect means guides follow wildlife rules, cultural visits require consent and local partners are treated as professionals.
Responsible tourism is not a label we can prove with one sentence. It has to appear in choices such as wildlife distance, community-led visits, accurate representation and suppliers whose work supports the places guests come to enjoy.
Before, during and after travel
Before travel, we organise confirmations and answer practical questions. During the journey, local contacts coordinate the booked services and respond when a road, flight or supplier change needs attention. After travel, detailed feedback helps us judge properties and routes more honestly.
Weather, wildlife and airline operations remain outside any company’s control. Good support does not promise that nothing changes. It makes responsibility and communication clear when something does.
