More About Our Safari Operations
The Out Of Africa Experience is a Nairobi-based safari company and DMC, founded in 2005, we have grown into East Africa’s most trusted safari destination management companies and have built our experience around operating safaris on the ground — coordinating the people, places, vehicles, accommodation and experiences that bring an African journey together. Our passion for Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, cultures, and conservation shapes every journey we create.
We combine deep local expertise with global standards to design seamless, personalized safaris around each traveller’s interests, travel dates, preferred destinations, and travel style. We are not simply a booking platform. We work directly with travellers and travel partners to create thoughtful journeys—from a first Kenya safari to a multi-country East African adventure. Every itinerary is designed to feel personal, well coordinated, and grounded in genuine local knowledge, leaving you with an experience that stays with you long after your journey ends.
Our Story — A Safari Company Built on Experience
The Out Of Africa Experience was founded in Nairobi in 2005 with a simple idea: a safari should be designed around the traveller, rather than the traveller having to fit into a standard package.
Over the years, that approach has grown into a destination management and safari operation serving travellers and travel partners from around the world. Our Nairobi base connects us directly to the safari destinations, suppliers, guides and hospitality partners that make each journey possible.
Today, we design private and tailor-made safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Southern Africa, with additional travel experiences as well as beach extensions to the Indian Ocean Islands including Zanzibar, Seychelles, and Mauritius.
