African Holidays

Drumbeat of Africa Safaris Limited


Drumbeat of Africa Safaris Limited is a family-owned tour and safari company in Kenya and East Africa, and offers personalised services in both Kenya and Tanzania. The company's Mission Statement clearly defines the vision and nature of our services:

"To be one of the best tours and safaris companies in our chosen market by providing first class personalised services to each of our clients through carefully structured tours and safaris which fulfil clients' dreams of cost-effective, memorable and adventurous holidays - be it in the wild and natural habitat of the African jungle, or in the quiet and natural habitat of the African Village."

Confirmation by our satisfied clients who have been to the various National Parks and Game Reserves, in both Kenya and Tanzania, indicates we are doing what we set out to achieve. In addition to photographic safaris to areas such as the world famous Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti; we expose clients to our African culture. We do this through cultural interaction in welcome or farewell dinners in family homes here in Nairobi; and through visits to the various cultural centres in our countries.

We at Drumbeat of Africa Safaris Limited are happy and proud to have the opportunity of guiding clients through our beautiful countries, and we take pride in our ability and experience to cater and attend to each individual client's needs as we know the land and our people's way of life. For the experience of a lifetime, we invite visitors to call on us for a structured tour through our beautiful lands.

In Kenya, apart from making arrangements for in and around the City of Nairobi, we organise safaris to the famous Game Parks such as Masai Mara Game Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Amboseli National Park, Aberdares National Park, Mount Elgon National Park, Mount Kenya National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Tsavo National Park and many more.

Bordering Kenya to the south lies Tanzania, popularly referred to as the land of Kilimanjaro. Being our neighbouring state with diverse and interesting features, we have familiarised ourselves with Tanzania and confidently take clients to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, claimed to be the eighth wonder of the world. In addition, clients are escorted to the famous Serengeti National Park to experience the great wildebeest and zebra migration. Furthermore, we take clients to Lake Manyara National Park where it is possible to see lions sprawling on stout limbs of the acacia trees.

Our many years of experience enable us to plan each itinerary to meet with clients' requirements. We are also able to suggest itineraries based on their clients' budgets, interests and duration of their visit to the less travelled agents with the aim of providing maximum satisfaction.

We appreciate through first hand knowledge of having lived overseas (in the USA and in the UK) for a number of years, that it takes a long time to save for a trip abroad. Therefore, we like to make sure that those hard-earned savings are stretched to the fullest with clients enjoying their holiday to the highest of their expectations. Our aim is to strive for excellence avoiding even the slightest of complaints.

Following is a sample of one of our itineraries covering both Kenya and Tanzania.
