Why Lekker

Journeys that connect you deeply with Africa.

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.

Traveller stories

Our happy travellers

Read all reviews →

“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

FAQ

Questions we are asked most

Everything you wanted to know about travelling with us. If yours is not here, our Nairobi specialists will answer it directly.

Ask a question

Yes — most of what we run is adjusted in some way. Tell us your dates, budget, pace and what matters most to you, and our specialists will build something around it. Honeymoons, families with young children, photographers and travellers with limited mobility all need different things, and a fixed itinerary rarely suits everyone.

Yes. Most of our departures are private, so the vehicle is yours whether you are one person or six. Single travellers should be aware that accommodation is priced per room, so a single supplement usually applies — we will always show it separately rather than bury it in the total.

For travel in the July to October high season, three to six months ahead is sensible — the best camps fill early. Gorilla permits in Uganda and Rwanda are strictly limited in number and should be secured six months ahead where possible. For green season travel, six to eight weeks is usually enough.

Every quoted price covers your professional driver-guide, a custom 4x4 with a guaranteed window seat, all park and conservancy fees, accommodation, the meals listed in the itinerary, bottled water throughout, and round-the-clock support from our Nairobi team. International flights, visas, insurance, drinks, tips and optional extras such as balloon flights are not included, and each tour page lists its exclusions in full.

The dry seasons — late June to October, and January to February — concentrate wildlife around shrinking water sources and make tracks easier to drive. The Great Migration reaches the Mara River between July and October, while calving on the southern Serengeti peaks in February. That said, the green season from March to May is beautiful, far quieter and noticeably cheaper, and the wildlife does not leave.

On a trip of four days or more across the right parks, most of our guests see four of the five comfortably. Leopard is the one we never promise — they are solitary, nocturnal and genuinely elusive. Rhino requires being in a park that has them, such as Nakuru, Ol Pejeta or the Ngorongoro Crater, which is why we build them into our longer itineraries. Any operator guaranteeing all five is overpromising.
