Wildlife First
We keep respectful distances, follow park rules and never chase a sighting, because the animals were here first.

A small Nairobi team planning private journeys across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, led by people who know the land.

The Old Times Safari Company began with a simple belief: the best safaris are slow, personal and led by people who truly know the land.
For more than five years we have planned private journeys across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from our home in Nairobi. We grew up with the bush on our doorstep. We know which camp has the best sundowner deck, which guide can find a leopard in thick croton, and how to leave room for the unplanned moment that becomes the story you tell for years.
That is what we mean by safari the old-fashioned way: unhurried days, honest advice and a team that treats every guest like family.
Plan My Safari →We are guides, planners, drivers, cooks and camp hosts, and we think of every guest as family.
Born in the bush and trained to read it, from fresh tracks to the mood of a herd.
Designing days that fit you, down to the best table at sunset.
The warm welcome waiting at the end of every long drive.

Reach us on WhatsApp before, during and after your trip. We answer quickly and we always follow up.
A safari should protect the wild places it celebrates and the people who live beside them.

We keep respectful distances, follow park rules and never chase a sighting, because the animals were here first.

We introduce guests to communities by invitation, with permission and fair payment, never as a spectacle.

We hire local guides, trackers and camp teams, buy from local suppliers and favour locally rooted camps.

We favour small camps, less waste and reusable bottles, and we brief every guest on how to travel gently.
A safari touches more lives than the ones in the vehicle. Behind every sunrise drive are guides, cooks, trackers, weavers and neighbours whose families live beside the wild.
We run community programmes that our guests can join. Partner with a project, sponsor a school place, a craft cooperative or a conservation effort, or simply roll up your sleeves for a day while you are here. Every programme is chosen with the community it serves.

Planning a safari is a big commitment. We keep the money side clear, fair and in writing.

Booking a safari should feel like the start of the adventure, not paperwork. Four simple steps, and a planner beside you for every one.
Message us on WhatsApp or send a short enquiry: where you want to go, when, who is travelling and what you hope to see.
Your planner builds a private itinerary around you, with camps, guides and pacing chosen for how you like to travel.
We adjust every detail together. You receive a clear written quote, then confirm with your deposit.
