Locally owned, KATO-aligned safari specialists crafting honest, unhurried journeys across East Africa — from the Mara plains to the Zanzibar shore.
Ruaraka Business Park, Thika Road, Nairobi, Kenya
R&H WildQuest began in 2012 with one Land Cruiser, two founders and a straightforward frustration: too many safaris were being sold by people who had never sat in the vehicle.
Today we run our own fleet and our own guides across four countries. We are small enough that the person who answers your first e-mail is still there when you land, and large enough to hold gorilla permits, secure Serengeti camps in high season, and get you across a border without a two-hour wait.
We do not sell fixed departures you have to squeeze into. We quote your dates, your pace and your budget — and we will tell you honestly when a park is not worth the detour in the month you are travelling.
Our quotes include park fees, meals, transport and taxes. What is excluded is listed just as plainly. No booking fees, no fuel surcharges, no surprises at the gate.
Every guide, driver and office staff member is East African, on a permanent contract. Camp and lodge partners are chosen partly on how they treat their teams.
We cap vehicle numbers at sightings, stay on designated tracks, and route a share of every booking to conservancy lease fees that keep land in wildlife use.
Serviced and tracked vehicles, first-aid-trained guides, and flying-doctor evacuation cover on every single booking at no extra cost.
Send an enquiry or pick a package as a starting point. Rough dates and a rough budget are enough — we take it from there.
Within 24 hours you get a costed, day-by-day plan with named lodges. Change anything you like; there is no charge for revisions.
Pay a 30% deposit online by card or M-PESA. We book the permits, camps and flights the same day.
Your guide meets you at the airport. From that point on you have a real person on WhatsApp for the whole trip.
Robert has guided in East Africa since 1998 and founded R&H WildQuest to run the kind of safaris he wanted to lead — unhurried, honest and locally staffed.
Hellen runs everything that has to happen on time: permits, lodges, flights and the logistics of moving people across four borders without friction.
Born in Talek on the edge of the Mara, Peter is a KPSGA Silver-rated guide and the reason half our guests come back a second time.
Grace is the person who answers your first e-mail, and usually within the hour. She has planned over 2,000 itineraries.
David keeps every vehicle serviced, tracked and equipped, and trains our drivers on defensive driving and bush recovery.
Based in Mombasa, Amina handles everything from the ferry south to Diani through to Stone Town and the Zanzibar beaches.
“We saw a river crossing on our second morning and I genuinely cried. Our guide Peter had positioned us two hours early on a hunch and he was right. That is the difference between a safari company and a good one.”
“Ten days, six parks, zero admin on my side. Every transfer was on time, the vehicle was immaculate, and when our flight into Nairobi was delayed by four hours the driver was still waiting. Faultless.”
“We travelled with two children under ten and were nervous about it. R&H built the itinerary around shorter driving days and it worked perfectly. The kids still talk about the elephants at Amboseli.”
“Booked the Diani extension after a Mara safari. The Wasini dhow day was the highlight of the whole trip and it was not even on the original plan — they arranged it in a day.”
“The gorilla trek in Bwindi was hard work and completely worth it. R&H secured our permits nine months out, sorted the Kihihi flights, and briefed us properly on what to expect. No surprises.”
“Third safari with this team. What keeps me coming back is that they tell you the truth — including when a park is not worth the detour that month. Rare and appreciated.”
