    How it works

    From first message to wheels-up in four steps

    1. 01

      Tell us your plans

      Dates, group size, budget and what you most want to see. A short form or a WhatsApp message is enough.

    2. 02

      We design your route

      Within 24 hours you get a day-by-day itinerary and a clear price — adjust it as often as you like.

    3. 03

      Confirm with a deposit

      A 25% deposit holds your dates. The balance is due 60 days before you travel.

    4. 04

      Travel with local support

      Your guide meets you on arrival, and our Nairobi office stays reachable throughout the trip.

    Why NexGen

    A local team, plain terms, no surprises

    • Planned from Nairobi

      Our office is in Westlands. The people who plan your trip know the parks, the camps and the roads.

    • Small groups, private options

      Departures are typically two to ten guests, and every itinerary can be run privately.

    • Road or flying

      Choose long scenic road safaris, or fly between camps to save days on the road.

    • Clear prices and terms

      From-prices are on every itinerary, and our booking terms are written plainly on the Terms page.

    When to go

    The best month depends on what you want to see

    There is no bad time for a safari, but the migration, calving and Kilimanjaro views each have a window.
