Our story

Upepo Safaris began with a simple conviction: that travel in East Africa should feel personal, well judged, and full of character. Having lived and travelled across the region for the last 20+ years, we have come to know its landscapes, hospitality, and rhythms. Upepo offers journeys designed with real care — not generic itineraries, but thoughtful experiences shaped around each traveller. We provide the same level of care and dedication to your journey as we would for a close friend of family member.

We are drawn to the things that make East Africa so extraordinary: the scale of its landscapes, the richness of its wildlife, the beauty of its coastline, and the warmth of its people. Our role is to bring those elements together in a way that feels seamless and natural, with the right balance of comfort, authenticity, and ease.

Upepo Safaris exists to help people experience East Africa in a way that feels special from beginning to end.
