Who We Are
Your Expert Safari Team
Collective African Tours & Safaris (C.A.T.S) is a Nairobi-based safari company with 15 years of expertise connecting travellers to the best wildlife, adventure, and cultural experiences across East Africa.
Our founder spent years as a safari sales consultant — learning every park, lodge, and hidden gem across Kenya and Tanzania. After years of selling someone else's vision, he founded C.A.T.S to deliver his own — built on firsthand knowledge of what travellers truly want: authentic encounters, seamless logistics, and moments that stay with you forever.
Today, our team works through a trusted network of experienced tour operators, certified naturalist guides, handpicked lodges, and reliable transport partners. From family safaris with junior ranger programs to honeymoon getaways and adrenaline-fuelled adventures, we design every itinerary with the same goal — giving you the trip of a lifetime.
Whether you're chasing the Great Migration, summiting Kilimanjaro, exploring Zanzibar's spice markets, or introducing your children to elephants for the first time — our team is here to make it happen, seamlessly and affordably.
"We don't just plan safaris. We craft the experiences that change your life."
