Who we are

Zydee began as a small guiding team in the Maasai Mara. Today we plan private safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Zanzibar, and every itinerary is still built by people who know these parks first-hand.

How it works

Three steps to the savannah.

No forms to fill and no account to create. The whole conversation happens on WhatsApp, with a safari expert in our Nairobi office.

  1. Step 1: Message us on WhatsApp

    Tell us your dates, how many of you are travelling and what you’d love to see. A rough idea is enough to start.

  2. Step 2: Get your itinerary and quote

    We send a day-by-day route with lodges and a clear per-person price, then adjust it until it’s right.

  3. Step 3: Travel with a private guide

    We meet you on arrival. Your own 4×4 with a pop-up roof, a professional guide and park fees are included.

Destinations

Most of our safaris start in Kenya. Add Tanzania’s Serengeti, gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda, or a beach finish on Zanzibar. We plan the whole route.
