Why Lekker
Lekker Tours and Travel is a Nairobi-based company creating memorable wildlife and leisure travel experiences across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Zanzibar. Every itinerary is built around the traveller’s own priorities rather than a fixed package.
We pair the classic wildlife circuits with the quieter corners most travellers never reach: private conservancies, walking country, and camps where the only sound after dark is the bush itself. Nothing is off the shelf.

Born and bred in the savanna, our guides provide insights that only a lifetime of African residency can offer.

From your first enquiry to your final departure, our Nairobi team is reachable at any hour, on any day.

We operate with a deep reverence for the cradle of humanity, ensuring sustainable practices on every expedition.

What is included is listed in full on every itinerary, and what is not is listed just as plainly.

Traveller stories
“We were met at the airport and from that moment nothing was our problem to solve. Our guide read the Mara like a book — he knew which pride had cubs and where they would be at six in the morning. Three river crossings in four days.”
Marieke de Vries
Utrecht, Netherlands
Great Migration — Mara River Crossings
“I had one weekend free and did not expect much. Left Nairobi on Friday afternoon, watched a leopard come down a tree on Saturday evening, and was back at my desk on Monday. Extraordinary value for what it was.”
James Okoth
Kampala, Uganda
Big Five Express
“The bush and beach combination was exactly right for us. A proper safari first, then a week at Diani to actually rest. Booking the internal flights rather than driving made all the difference — we would have lost two days on the road.”
Sarah & Tom Whitfield
Bristol, United Kingdom
Bush & Beach — Mara and Diani
“The trek was harder than I expected — four hours up through wet forest — and worth every minute. Our porter carried my camera bag and our ranger was patient with all of us. That hour with the family does not really translate into words.”
Priya Raghunathan
Bengaluru, India
Gorilla Trekking — Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
“I have used several operators over the years for visiting family and clients. Lekker are the ones who answer the phone at ten at night when a flight moves. The logistics are what you are actually paying for and theirs are excellent.”
Daniel Mwangi
Nairobi, Kenya
Classic Kenya — Mara, Nakuru & Amboseli
“As a photographer I have been on trips where you are shooting over three other people. Five guests, beanbags provided, and a guide who understood why I wanted the vehicle moved two metres to the left. I came home with work I am proud of.”
Anneliese Bauer
Munich, Germany
