Shades of Africa Travel Ltd was born from a dream — a passion for Africa and a desire to share its wonders with the world. It began with selling African art in America, which quickly evolved into organizing trips for friends and customers curious about the homeland. The company’s first unofficial trip to Kenya in 1993 set the tone for everything that followed. A client’s words captured it perfectly: ‘It is better than I ever imagined.’
Today, over 25 years later, Shades of Africa Travel is one of East Africa’s most respected destination management companies, operating from its Nairobi headquarters with branch offices in Voi (Kenya), Pennsylvania (USA), and Beijing (China), and client-handling offices across East, Central, and Southern Africa.
We are also partners with Safari Bookings (www.safaribookings.com)
