Kennito
Founder, Serval Tours and Travel
Our story
Started by Kennito, run like a family
Kennito grew up around a family business and has spent years organising safaris across East Africa. Along the way he learned that great trips depend on small details: the right camp for your budget, a guide who reads the animals well, and someone who picks up when you call.
That is still how Serval works. Our Nairobi team plans every trip itself, from a half day in Nairobi National Park to a long journey across two countries, and we look after every guest the way we would look after our own relatives.
What drives us
The two ideas behind every trip
Simple to plan, honestly priced and personal. That is the promise we work to keep with every guest.
Our mission
Our vision
Six reasons travellers choose Serval
Whatever you spend and however long you stay, these never change.
A family business, not a call centre
Kennito and our Nairobi team plan every trip themselves, so you always know who is looking after you.
Itineraries built around you
Your dates, budget, pace and wish list shape the route and the lodges, never a fixed template.
Expert local guides
English-speaking driver-guides in 4x4 vehicles with pop-up roofs for clear views and photos.
Honest, clear pricing
Every quote lists what is included and what is not. No hidden charges once you arrive.
From budget camps to luxury lodges
Private or group joining, tented camps or five-star lodges, with the same care at every price.
Support day and night
We are on WhatsApp and phone around the clock, while you plan and while you are out in the parks.
