Victoria Safaris welcomes you to East Africa. East Africa is synonymous with the word "Safari", which in Swahili means "to journey". through this land of abundant wildlife, beautiful scenery, diverse cultures and friendly people. Join us on Safari in Africa and make your dream come true.

The richness of the African wilderness is unsurpassed and this continues to draw the people of various nations to the countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Wildlife safaris in Kenya and Tanzania has never been more exciting; similarly Gorilla Tracking adventures in Uganda, hiking on Mount Kenya, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and beach holidays on the Indian Ocean Islands of Mombasa, Lamu and Zanzibar are just a fascinating.

Apart from the regular safaris we have a new range of tours that involve home stays around Lake Victoria. These Lake Victoria safaris take the traveler to culturally rich regions of Lake Victoria and include cultural immersions, study tours, ecotourism safaris, folklore and Lake Victoria fishing trips. Accommodation on these safaris are in secure modern country homes or traditional homes with local fare. These Lake Victoria safaris offer the client the best opportunity to learn the culture and interact with the people of Western Kenya.

Come and enjoy the professional services offered by Victoria Safaris and experience the exhilarating safaris that are a trade mark of this renown East Africa tour company.

Ecotourism:

One of the core activities of Victoria Safaris is ecotourism in Kenya, with particular concentration in Central and Western Kenya. The purpose of these safaris is to ensure that our clientele interact with the local people in the areas they visit even as these indigenous peoples earn directly from these tours:

Agro-tourism:

Victoria Safaris has a number of agrotourism itineraries in central and Western Kenya. This concept is a direct expansion of ecotourism, which encourages visitors to experience agricultural life at first hand. This type of tourism is gathering strong support from small communities as rural people have realized the benefits of sustainable development brought about by similar forms of "green tourism". Visitors have the opportunity to work in the fields alongside real farmers and wade knee-deep in the sea with fishermen hauling in their nets in Lake Victoria.

Community Based Tourism:

The aim of Victoria Safaris is to enable participation from the local community in the development and operations of tourism with their consent and support. Another important feature is that a reasonable share of the revenues are enjoyed by the local communities in Kenya where we undertake these tours. This type of tourism also maintains and respects the local culture, heritage and traditions. Often, community-based tourism actually reinforces and sometimes rescues these. Community-based tourism also implies respect and concern for the natural heritage, particularly where the environment is one of the attractions.

Nature Tourism:

This interlinks with ecotourism but concentrates more on enjoying and respecting the wildlife and the environment without the educational element present in ecotourism. We offer a variety of tours to wildlife parks and sanctuaries across East Africa.

Pro-poor Tourism:

Our company is involved in this type of tourism as a means to improve the local economy for local people. We link up with poor people in the rural areas so that poverty is reduced and poor people are able to participate more effectively in tourism development while earning an adequate income. The aims of pro-poor ranges from increasing local employment to involving local people in the decision making process. The most important factor is that poor rural people receive an increase in the net benefits from tourism.
