From Local Guide to Safari Director

After years of leading travellers through Kenya's national parks, reserves, and coastal beaches, Samuel Mwaura envisioned a travel agency that offered more than just a tour — it offered a bridge to the heart of Africa.

In 2017, that vision became Samton Safaris. What started as a one-man passion project has grown into a premier Nairobi-based boutique agency, known for its customer-centric approach and unmatched local expertise.

Sam's team is praised for their incredible wildlife-spotting skills and deep knowledge of the local area. Whether it's tracking the Big Five in the Masai Mara or arranging a private sundowner in Amboseli — every detail is personal. We are official partners of SafariBookings — you can find our profile there!

Our Story

Born from the Bush, Built for You

Samton Safaris was born from the passion of a long-time local tour guide with a deep, personal knowledge of East Africa's landscapes. After years of leading travellers through Kenya's national parks, reserves, and coastal beaches, our founder Samuel Mwaura envisioned a travel agency that offered more than just a tour — it offered a bridge to the heart of Africa.

Since our founding in 2017, we have grown into a premier Nairobi-based boutique agency known for our customer-centric approach and unmatched local expertise. We specialise in iconic safaris to the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and Samburu, as well as luxury & mid-range travel, seamless logistics with 4x4 Land Cruiser hires, professional airport transfers, and stunning coastal escapes along Kenya's beautiful shoreline.

Based at Spur Mall, along Thika Road, Nairobi, we welcome guests to visit us for in-person safari consultations or connect with us online from anywhere in the world.
