About us
We curate private journeys across Kenya and Tanzania for travelers who value expertise, discretion, and thoughtful pacing.
East Africa Luxury Travel was founded in New York City with a singular vision: to offer discerning travelers an authentic African safari experience without compromise. We specialize exclusively in Kenya and Tanzania, partnering with the finest private conservancies, luxury tented camps, and expert local guides.
Every journey we design is tailored to our clients' interests, pace, and sense of wonder. Whether you seek the Great Migration, a romantic sundowner overlooking Kilimanjaro, or an intimate encounter with a lion pride, we handle every detail — so you can simply be present.
Leadership
Our New York client team works with trusted field partners in Nairobi, Arusha, private conservancies, and premier tented camps.
Founder & Lead Safari Curator
James is a former wildlife photographer turned travel curator. He founded East Africa Luxury Travel to create private safaris that balance extraordinary sightings with comfort, stillness, and sincere local connection.
East Africa Operations Director
Based between Nairobi and Arusha, Amina oversees guide relationships, camp coordination, air transfers, and special arrangements that make each journey feel seamless on the ground.
Client Experience Lead
Elena works with guests before departure to refine pace, rooming, dietary preferences, celebrations, photography goals, and the small details that make a safari feel curated for you.
Our philosophy
We design around the quality of time. That may mean a private conservancy rather than a crowded route, two extra nights in a camp with exceptional guiding, or a slower morning after a long travel day.
Our role is to bring clarity to the many choices: where to go, when to move, which camp fits your style, and how to keep the logistics invisible.
Private planning, no template trips
Tell us where you want to go, how you like to travel, and what would make the journey feel personal. We will curate the route, camps, guides, and timing around you.
