Chairmans Message

Wildlife Safari has maintained the same formula for over thirty five years as the premier luxury safari operator to East Africa under the “hands on” management of Tom Fernandes, the founder of Wildlife Safari, from our head office in Nairobi, Kenya.

Experience is the cornerstone of any business and few safari operators have the same longevity and knowledge of Wildlife Safari. Noel D’Souza and his team in our Moraga, California office have been planning safaris throughout Africa for over twenty years and there is no better team available to create your perfect journey through Africa.

Our luxury all inclusive “Signature Safaris” throughout Africa are the best available. We feature the best hotels, lodges and camps in the finest wildlife locations and include extensive activities and sightseeing with some unique “exclusive experiences” for Wildlife Safari guests only. These offer the ultimate safari experience with exceptional value.

Our “a la carte” safari selection offers with the perfect extensions to our “Signature Safaris” or may be combined to create an independent, itinerary through Africa. Our Wildlife Safari expert can also custom design your journey of a lifetime

Tom Fernandes and Noel D’Souza with the entire Wildlife Safari team welcome you to Africa.

Our Vehicles

Wildlife Safari is one of the few safari operators that owns and operates our entire fleet of custom built 4WD safari vehicles. Every vehicle is custom built to our specifications with comfortable seats, safety belts, large “pop up” photographic roof hatch, dust proofing, luggage storage and cool box with a supply of bottled water. All vehicles carry a first aid kit, spare parts and a selection of field guides. It is also equipped with a radio system to communicate with our Nairobi office. Every Wildlife Safari vehicle undergoes a total service and safety check after every safari in our own maintenance facility. Our vehicles are sold after just three years in service, usually to another safari company. Our “signature safaris” are operated by custom built 4WD vehicles for added safety and comfort. Every 4WD carries a maximum of four (regular 4WD) or six (stretch 4WD) guests so that everyone has a guaranteed window seat and access to the photographic roof hatch for the entire safari, without having to rotate guests during the safari.

Our Guides

The Wildlife Safari team of guides is the best in the business. All our guides are full time employees with an average of twelve years with the company. Every Wildlife Safari guide has a very broad knowledge about the history, geography, people, cultures, animals and birds of East Africa as well as being an excellent driver with mechanical skills. Each guide has only four or six guests for the entire safari, depending on the type of vehicle, and provides a very personal experience. Wildlife Safari guides consistently score high marks in the Kenya Safari Guides Association rankings and our guides are in demand from repeat guests.

UNLIMITED GAME VIEWING
As Wildlife Safari operates its own safari vehicles we offer unlimited game viewing drives. Other companies who hire vehicles and guides limit game viewing guides to a fixed time or mileage limit. Wildlife Safari guides discuss game viewing options that suit our guests, not the company, and will be happy to arrange full day game viewing with an optional picnic lunch at some wildlife sanctuaries. Nature walks are also included in some locations at no additional cost. Our guides always maintain an acceptable distance from wildlife and avoid crowded game viewing situations. Our itineraries have been designed to maximize game viewing like Ngorongoro Crater with a special picnic breakfast followed by a morning of game viewing without the crowds.

SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE
Wildlife Safari prides itself on providing the best service from the time you make your reservations to the time you board your flight home. Tom Fernandes personally monitors the daily operations from our head office in Nairobi, assisted by a dedicated team of safari experts who are available at any time. Designated customer service staff meet guests on arrival at Nairobi airport and escorts them to their hotel to assist with registration and provide a welcome briefing. Our staff also assist with any sightseeing, restaurants and flight reconfirmations - its all part of our service, service, service.
