Safaris planned, driven and guided by one man — John Mboya. From your first message to your flight home, you deal with the guide himself: the Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, the coast, and every road in between.
Six ways to travel with us — pick a starting point, then we tailor every detail to your dates, pace and budget.
Kenya's flagship reserve — the single best place on earth for big cats, and the stage for the Great Migration.
The classic postcard of Africa — great elephant herds against the snows of the continent's highest mountain.
The headline tour — the three parks you cannot miss, in one unforgettable week across the great Rift.
"Elsewhere" rates are average published prices for comparable mid-range, private-vehicle itineraries from leading Kenyan operators, reviewed quarterly.
One person plans, drives and guides your whole trip: John. Big agencies hand you to whoever's free. We never do.
Same parks, same calibre of lodges as the big names — without the brand markup. One clear price, fully itemised.
John meets you at JKIA, Wilson or Moi International himself. No taxi roulette after a long flight.
Every itinerary bends to your dates, pace, budget and the animals you most want to see. Nothing off the rack.
One WhatsApp number, answered by the person actually with you. Plans change; we adapt on the spot.
Twelve years of knowing where the wildlife is, when to go, and how to skip the minibus crowds.
Hi, I'm John Mboya. After twelve years of dawn game drives, I still get the same jolt watching a guest see their first wild elephant — or their first Mara sunrise.
When you travel with Connecting Safaris, I'm your point of contact from the very first message. I shape the itinerary around your dates and the animals you most want to see, I'm the one waiting at the airport with your name when you land — yes, I do the pickups myself — and I'm beside you for every game drive.
My promise is simple: I treat your trip the way I'd want mine treated.
Pick your parks, set the pace, choose your comfort. The estimate updates as you go; John refines it personally and replies on WhatsApp within 24 hours with a confirmed plan and final price.
Estimates are indicative, per person sharing, and include park fees, full-board accommodation on safari, private 4×4 with fuel, John's guiding, drinking water and airport pickup. John confirms an exact quote for your dates before anything is booked.
No stock photos. These are guests John has welcomed, driven and shown around — from the first airport hello to a quiet morning with the giraffes.
"John found us a leopard in a fig tree before our coffee had cooled. Nothing about this trip felt packaged."
"Our kids still talk about the morning John let them 'navigate' to the elephants. He guides people, not groups."
"My third safari, my first where the guide felt like an old friend by day two. I've already sent him my sister."
