City Tours

A short guided city tour is an easy, worthwhile way to fill an arrival or departure day - markets, historic streets, food stops and local context that most travelers otherwise miss between the airport and the safari vehicle.

Overview

Make Your Transit Day Count

Most safari trips include at least one night in a capital city before or after the parks - Kampala, Nairobi or Stone Town - and a half-day guided tour turns that otherwise dead time into a genuine part of the trip.

Tours typically mix markets, historic or religious sites, and a food stop, tailored to however much time you actually have between flights.

  • Turns transit days into part of the trip
  • Markets, historic sites and food stops
  • Flexible half-day or full-day formats
  • Private, guided and paced to your flight times
