Kenya & East Africa Safaris | Norine Forbes Safaris

Safari, done properly.

Norine Forbes Safaris is a Nairobi-based safari company creating private, tailor-made safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

From a first safari in Kenya to a Great Migration journey through the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, every trip is shaped around the traveller—the right route, the right places to stay and the right pace.

We are not a booking platform. We are an East Africa safari team with first-hand destination knowledge, experienced guides and trusted relationships with camps, lodges and local partners on the ground.

That is what tailor-made means to us: your journey, designed around you.
