About Us

Alika Adventures runs safaris straight out of Nairobi. No call center abroad, and no stock photos standing in for real camps. The company opened its doors in 2022, built by people who grew up walking these parks, not reading about them in a brochure.
That matters more than it sounds. Someone who has stood at the Mara river during crossing season plans a safari differently than someone working off a brochure photo. Alika’s guides know which camps fill first in July. They know which Amboseli lodge gives you Kilimanjaro at sunrise, and which one blocks the view entirely.

What the Company Actually Does

Game drives are only the start here. The full list covers safari packages, hotel bookings, airport transfers, air ticketing, and complete holiday planning. Ask for a flying safari and skip the six-hour drive, or skip the luxury markup on a budget camping trip. Most companies split those two into different teams. Alika runs them off one desk.
Corporate groups get the same kind of attention. Team retreats, incentive trips, and conference extensions get full planning support, not treated as a side booking. Individuals, families, and companies work with the same team every time. Only the budget and the goals change.

Where the Trips Go

Kenya is the home base. Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, Lamu, and Nairobi all sit on the regular route. Cross the border and Tanzania opens up, with Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire close behind.

Beach time comes from two directions. Diani Beach covers the Kenyan coast, while Zanzibar and Mahe Island in the Seychelles cover the Indian Ocean side. Sand after the dust of a game drive. Europe holiday packages round out the international list, a fairly wide reach for a company this young.

Who Actually Runs the Trips

Guides make or break a safari trip. Alika’s field guides carry knowledge no manual teaches, like where lions rest at midday, which waterhole draws elephants at dusk, and how to read a storm early.

That’s the standard here, not the exception. Not just transport and a tent, but a guide worth mentioning afterward.

Why the Founders Started This

The mission is short and direct: build travel that feels personal, not processed. Budget-friendly doesn’t mean corner-cutting here.

The vision goes further than day-to-day bookings. Alika wants to become the name East African safaris get measured against, then carry that reputation past the continent. It’s an early, ambitious goal, but TripAdvisor reviews already lean that way, with guests naming specific guides for spotting wildlife nobody else caught.
