About Africa Shijoy Safaris
Creating Everlasting Memories
Who we are
A Kenyan company with a passion for the wild
Africa Shijoy Tours & Safaris Ltd is a Kenyan tour operator based in Nairobi. We design and guide private and small-group safaris across Kenya’s most celebrated parks — the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Tsavo and Lake Nakuru — and along the coast and Mount Kenya highlands.
Our promise is simple: creating everlasting memories. That means expert English-speaking driver-guides, comfortable safari vehicles with a window seat for every guest, honest advice, and a personal touch from the first message to the last goodbye at the airport.
You can find us on Safari Bookings.

A message from our founder
Jambo and welcome!
Kenya has been my home and my classroom for as long as I can remember. I started Africa Shijoy Tours & Safaris so that visitors could experience this country the way I do — through the eyes of a local who knows where the leopard sleeps, which track the elephants take at dawn, and which family will welcome you for chai.
Every safari we run is personal. We keep our groups small, our guides are passionate and professional, and we treat every guest as a friend. My favourite animal is the leopard — patient, elegant and always a little mysterious — and you'll find it in our logo. I promise to do my very best to help you spot one.
We are licensed and accredited, and proud of it. Come and let us create everlasting memories together.
