Talk to our team
Where is Serval Tours and Travel based?
Our office is at Blessed House on Thika Road in Nairobi, Kenya. We plan trips across Kenya and Tanzania.
Do you offer private and group safaris?
Yes. Choose a private safari with your own vehicle and guide, or join a group departure and share the cost with other travellers.
Can you tailor a safari to my budget?
Yes. Every itinerary can be adjusted to your dates, budget, comfort level and interests.
When is the best time for a safari?
Wildlife is rewarding all year. July to October is famous for the migration, while the green seasons bring fewer visitors and lower rates.
Do I have to book once I get a quote?
Can I combine a safari with a climb or the beach?
