Why travel with Volcan
Local knowledge, clear answers
Private by default
On a private safari the vehicle and guide are yours alone. Our one shared budget safari is labelled as shared, and fly-in camps use their own shared game drives.
Planned and run from Nairobi
Our team plans every trip and runs the Kenyan side. Tanzanian legs run through our own operation in Tanzania, and wherever a guide or vehicle changes at a border, your itinerary says so.
Prices you can read
Lodges, park fees and transfers are itemised in your quote, with inclusions and exclusions listed beside the total.
Support while you travel
A driver-guide with you on every road leg, office replies Monday to Saturday, and a staffed emergency line around the clock while you are on tour.
Guest reviews
Guest stories
Real experiences from travellers who have been on safari with us, straight from Google.
