Wie uw safari ontwerpt, voert hem ook uit
Wildtouch Tours & Travel wordt geleid door Jacob Munene, een Keniaanse safarispecialist uit Nairobi met ruim tien jaar ervaring in de reiswereld en een reputatie als wildlifekenner. Wildtouch wordt door de oprichter geleid: plant u een safari, dan spreekt u met het team dat uw reis ook uitvoert, niet met een verkoopafdeling — en de oprichter staat achter de manier waarop elke reis wordt uitgevoerd.
Vanuit Nairobi bestrijkt Wildtouch het klassieke Keniaanse safaricircuit — de Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu, Amboseli — en reikt het verder tot in de noordelijke parken van Tanzania en de primatenwouden van Rwanda. Het team van Wildtouch ontwerpt elke reis rond de dieren, het seizoen en de manier waarop u graag reist.
Die continuïteit maakt het verschil. Wie luistert naar wat u van uw safari verwacht, is ook degene die de reisroute vormgeeft, de gidsen brieft en de telefoon opneemt. Zo maakt Wildtouch van een vakantie een verhaal dat het vertellen waard is.

Reizen met Wildtouch
- What kind of safari operator is Wildtouch?
- Wildtouch Tours & Travel is an owner-managed East African safari operator based in Nairobi. Each safari is tailor-made and you deal directly with the team who run your trip — there is no sales desk between you and the people who run it.
- Which countries does Wildtouch cover?
- Kenya — the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu, Amboseli, Tsavo, Meru and Laikipia. Tanzania — Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Rwanda — Volcanoes National Park for mountain gorillas, Nyungwe Forest for chimpanzees, and Akagera. Combined journeys across two or three countries are arranged under a single booking.
- Are your safaris tailor-made?
- Yes. The itineraries on this site are sample journeys to start from. Length, pace, accommodation tier and special-interest add-ons — balloon flights, walking safaris, cultural visits, honeymoon touches — are all shaped around you before anything is confirmed.
- When is the best time to go on safari in East Africa?
- The dry season from June to October offers the strongest all-round wildlife viewing, and is when the wildebeest migration moves through the northern Serengeti and into the Maasai Mara — the dramatic Mara River crossings concentrating from around July to October. December to March is excellent too — the herds gather on the green southern Serengeti plains, with the wildebeest calving from late January to March, and quieter camps. We will advise the best window for the wildlife you most want to see.
- Do you arrange gorilla trekking in Rwanda?
- Yes. Wildtouch handles Rwanda primate trekking, with a specialism in mountain gorilla treks in Volcanoes National Park and chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe Forest. Rwanda combines cleanly with an East African safari for travellers who want both Big Five wildlife and the primates on one trip.
- Are the safaris suitable for families and first-timers?
- Yes. Wildlife viewing is done from a comfortable private 4×4, the pace is set to suit you, and the team has experience hosting first-time travellers, couples and multi-generational families. Tell us who is travelling and we will shape the journey accordingly.
- How do I book, and what about prices?
- Start by sending an enquiry or emailing bookings@wildtouchafrica.com. The Wildtouch team will discuss your dates, party and what you want from the safari, then put together a tailored itinerary and a fixed quote. Set packages carry their published rates; everything tailor-made is quoted individually, because each trip is built individually.
- Where is Wildtouch based?
- Wildtouch is based at Rehani House, 10th Floor, Koinange Street, Nairobi, Kenya — with road and air links to the Kenyan parks, the northern Tanzania gateways at Arusha and Kilimanjaro, and Kigali for onward Rwanda travel.
