Overview With Diwaka it is not "better to travel than to arrive". For our clients the whole safari is a profoundly satisfying journey of discovery. We offer a wide range of safaris to some of the most outstandingly beautiful and fascinating places on earth. Travel is our business and we ensure a quality of product and service that is second to none. Since 2000, the Diwaka group has provided travelers with some of the most memorable safaris in Africa and beyond. top Our Passion for Africa We were born in Africa. Our lives have been dedicated to the wildlife and its conservation. We would like to share with you a few words which convey the magical lure of Africa The glories of Africa are well-documented but only those who actually travel there can stand under the wide, sheltering skies and feel the warm red earth beneath their feet. Film and television do not really communicate the sheer thrill of being only yards from a bull elephant, nor do they allow a true picture of the peerless landscapes and richly-textured cultures. Africa is tranquillity and adventure, mighty waters and arid desert, nostalgia and modernity. A land of exciting contrasts and breathtaking beauty lies waiting to be explored. top Our Business Diwaka provides excellent travel programs to East Africa, covering over 100 activities and over 20 different types of adventure, sport, eco-, special interest and holistic safaris. From ultra-luxury to specialist safaris, rest assured that we have considerable expertise in preparing exciting and innovative itineraries for a single person to large groups. No other company can match our choice, flexibility and commitment to your journey. Competitive contracts with over 100 properties throughout East Africa, encompassing over 100 game parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty, enable you to customize your journey at a price to suit your budget. At Diwaka Safaris, we put great emphasis on inspections and recommending the appropriate accommodation ranging from: - • Luxury homesteads, lodges, tented camps, mobile tented camps, beach 'bandas' and hotels • Classic (3 to 4-star) lodges, tented camps, hotels and guest houses • 5 styles of camping - luxury fixed, luxury mobile, semi-luxury, standard and fly-camping Customized safaris - over 70 per cent of our business is customized safaris so you can be confident that we can create your own special and unique itinerary.

We are totally committed to your safari from start to finish. top Offices - well-established infrastructure Diwaka Safaris has offices in Nairobi with representatives in Mombasa and Arusha. This ensures a seamless service. We also own and maintain our own vehicles and train our own guides to ensure a better safari for you. Our excellent customer ratings speak for themselves. top Ground Services Our outstanding Ground Service is a product of dedicated staff and intensive training.

Quite often we find that clients prefer the speed and convenience of light aircraft. We can organise both scheduled and charter flights to almost all of our destinations. However, our transport is by no means restricted to the modern-day machines. Our walking safaris can take you to the wildest spots on earth, as can our horse, camel and elephant-back safaris. Without them our fleet would not be complete.
