A very personal, up close encounter with Africa
Jane did a heroic job in securing us excellent accommodations for a personal safari on only 5 months notice - which is a rush request for August visits to Kenya and Tanzania. We toured 5 major parks, largely staying at Serena properties, using a Toyota Land Cruiser. We had excellent driver guides, and the price was quite reasonable for a 2 person private safari. Jane remained in constant communication before, during and after the safari - even greeting us and wishing us a fond farewell on both ends of the trip. Outstanding value for the money!

Great Service, reliable and quick. We had a great time with Kenan.
We booked a safari from nairobi through the national parks Amboseli, Tsavo West & Tsavo East to the coast in August 2017 just after the elections.
Before the trip we had many questions and the answer from Jane always came reliably and quickly - that gave us a good feeling that it is the right holiday.
We had a great time as a family with 2 children.
Kenan is highly recommended.
Next time, of course, Kenan again.
Yes first I hesitated to transfer the money into the "wild africa" -
but KATO, email and whatsapp gave me a good feeling - and we had a wonderful time. Thanks Jane.
Amazing trip in Kenya!
We had a 10-day trip in Kenya. From Samburu to Masai Mara. Jane answered tons of emails before the trip and took care of everything. Our driver Naftali found the big five and the special five for us, which made our trip perfect. It seems that he could find all the animals we want to see. He also adjust our lodge to make the trip going smoothly. My friend received several bottles of wine as honeymoon gift. Most of the lodge and tented camp is perfect. We also tried a budget camp at Lake Naivasha, which is also an unforgettable experience.
Jane picked us up at the airport, helped us send the postcard and paid the beer for our last meal. We miss them so much.

Wonderfull 10 days safari according to my travel plan with a experienced driver in a good minivan.
It was easy to plan the 10 days safari because the communication was very good and and quick. Kenan Travel & Tours offered a safari tour which I could adjust to my individuell plan. They offerd good accommodation but also adjust the kind of accommodation according to my budget. The driver Naftaly was punktually, expierenced not only in driving but in finding many animals and birds. He moved the car in such good positions so we could make excellence pictures and movies. He is a good fellow and we spent a very nice time with him not only in the car but also in the evening. We could rely on him and his boss Jane in every situation during and after the safari. I would recommend Kenan Travel & Tours for a Safari.

Go with Kenan and you won't regret.
My mother and I booked an 11-day Kenya safari with Kenan. We had a perfect experience from the planning stage to end of the trip. Geophrey helped us choose lodges/camps and give us suggestion on itinerary to meet our need. He was very helpful and patient. Jane and our driver/guide Paul welcomed us at the airport when we arrived. Then we began the trip. Our Safari was fabulous. Paul was an expert. He did his best to make sure we can see everything. And we really did. We saw the big five, many cheetahs, and other animals that I didn't expect to see, such as vulture and eagles. What is more, he knows photography. He could always find the best spot for us to take pictures. At the end of the trip, Geophrey also went to the airport to say goodbye to us. Again, we had a wonderful trip and we highly recommend Kenan to everyone who wants to do a safari in Kenya.

Excellent service!!!!! I recomend 100%
Everything was ok. The hotels, the meals, we could see all the animals. But the best was our driver wide, Cris. If you go to Kenia to do a safari, ask for Cris, is the best.

Superb Safari and Personal Service
We used Kenan Travel and Tours for our Kenya trip and Safari. Jane Kariuki was excellent throughout. She helped us plan our trip, replied to all our queries and was personally present at the airport to receive us. We visited Aberdaire, Naivasha and Masai Mara and organization of entire trip was flawless. Our guide was very knowledgeable and and answered all our questions patiently and in detail. He also made sure that we saw big five (or four) as Rhinos are difficult to spot these days.
We have taken several similar trips in differ net places and this was one of the best!

Amazing Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar
Jane is very helpful and competent at what she does. I gave her the number of days that we have for this trip and the places that we wanted to visit. She formulated the itinerary according to the type of accommodation that we wanted. At first I was hesitant in sending money by wire transfer because of a bad experience with another company in the past however my fear was allayed knowing that Kenan is KATO bonded. Overall experience was excellent...it was a once in a lifetime trip!

Wonderful 10 days in Kenya and Tanzania
Jane from Kenan Travel & Tours arranged such a wonderful 10-day vacation for my wife, myself and our friend Jill. The trip was perfect. We had amazing experience with the wild animals in Masai Mara and Serengeti. We saw about 40 lions including a few males lions and a lot of babies. We saw all the big five although it was in the low season of tourism in east Africa. Our guide and driver Naftali was super helpful in finding the best places to observe the animals. We had quite nice accommodation in Serena Safari Lodges. We had a special experience in Tortilis Camp in Serengeti. We spent 5 nights in Tanzania in the middle of the trip and went back to Kenya. I was a little concerned about the transition in the boarder before the trip. It turned out Jane had taken everything into consideration. Our drivers always met in the boarder area for handing over so that we did not need to worry about figuring out the way. We started to plan the vacation 3 months ago. Jane always replied tons of our emails very promptly. She was super patient to our questions and requests about the itinerary. One thing very worth mentioning was our friend Jill's luggage was lost by the airway company. Jane stayed in the Nairobi airport to communicate with the airway company. We were very worried about Jill. She could not enjoy the trip without all her clothes in the luggage. Jane went to the airport again in the early morning of the next day and got the luggage back. Jane sent us the luggage by a small aircraft from Nairobi to Masai Mara while we had already started the amazing safari.
