Travel Safety Checklist: Before You Go
- Research Your Destination: Understand the safety, health and security risks by consulting travel advisories from reputable sources.

Our Testimonials
" It was our first time in Kenya as a family and we were rather unsure of what to expect . We were well received at the airport by the Representative Faith and proceeded on safari to Amboseli. The food was excellent throughout and was all included in the price. Our favourite was Sentrim Amboseli which is a tented camp with modern facilities and has a great atmosphere. There was a wide variety of animals to view wherever we went and that’s a plus to the agent for being able to anticipate client’s needs. We would thoroughly recommend booking a trip with Kenya Tru Nomads Tours "

" We had a 10 day tour with them and have nothing but praise for them! The booking process was simple and Faith helped us all the way with our tour choices, providing informative support. Our Driver/guide was Shauri. He was intelligent, articulate, informative and courteous all the way. He is an expert in the field of game safaris. We were a party of 2 with him in a safari Land Cruiser for 10 days and it flew by. There are not that many friends I would be happy to share such a time with but Shauri was a pleasure to share time with. Tru Nomads delivered what the promised and more. I thoroughly recommend them.
