I am greatly honoured to present the 3rd edition of the KATO Safari Operators
Guide. This presents yet another oppor-tunity to showcase Kenya’s finest tour operators and also raise awareness about our vibrant tourism sector and what it has to offer.
The year 2010 has been declared the Year of Domestic Tourism. There has been substantial growth in the domestic market over recent years and the benefits of this growth are becoming increasingly apparent. It is our firm belief that benefits accruing from tourism should, as far as possible, be shared with the Kenyan people; and, apart from job creation and more income for residents, domestic tourism holds the key to a long-term stable industry.
We are very pleased to note that the Minister for Tourism has entrusted the responsibility of developing the domestic tourist market to the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB).
KTB has also embarked on a new marketing initiative dubbed ‘Jambo Kenya’ which will see the destination featured on TV channels all across key source markets. We look forward to the fruits of this marketing effort.
Kenya continues to experience very encour-aging growth in international tourist arrivals and we are very grateful to our overseas partners for their continued support. Tourism is, and continues to be, a very important sector for Kenya and is one of the six key economic pillars of the country’s ‘Vision 2030’.
policy
The long-awaited tourism policy is nearing completion and, once approved and imple-mented into law, will forever change the face of tourism in Kenya. We are appreciative of the efforts by the Ministry of Tourism towards helping to conclude this process.
KATO’s lobby initiatives range from fruitful communication with Government, seeking preferential services to our members and, of most significance, is the collective voice on key issues such as infrastructural development, training and skills development.
Our role as a business member organisation continues to be felt in all spheres. We have experienced an increasing number of new tour companies joining KATO and we welcome those making their first appearance in this edition.
For intending visitors to Kenya, we would like say ‘Karibuni Sana’. KATO members, listed here in this Guide, are bound by the Code of Conduct and this gives you the comfort of knowing that there are mechanisms to ensure delivery of high standards and a mechanism for mediation in the event that a dispute may arise.
KATO will continue to live up to its motto of being ‘The Driving Force behind Kenya’s Tourism’ and we look forward to welcoming you all to Kenya. Adam Jillo KATO Chairman

MAGICAL KENYA is one of Africa’s truly great destinations – an always
enchanting and surprisingly diverse nation with over 40 ethnic groups and cultures. Kenya is also amazingly varied in terms of its climate and topography, ranging from tropical landscapes at the coast to sometimes chilly alpine-like moorland in the central region.
Best known for its superb game viewing, Kenya is more than just a wildlife experience. It is also a country of timeless and unhurried islands, such as Lamu, and offers some of the world’s best and least crowded beaches. It is also the thundering hoofs of wildebeest and zebra on the annual migration that captivates visitors to the Masai Mara National Reserve. And Kenya is home to Africa’s second-highest mountain, offering East Africa’s most exhila-rating and challenging climb.
growth
Kenya continues to grow in popularity as a destination. In fact, its tourism industry has shown a strong recovery since the dark days of early 2008. Despite the impact of a global economic slowdown, business in 2010 has broadly returned to the levels enjoyed in 2007.
4
Helped by a relatively competitive Kenya shil-ling and an inspired decision by the Ministry of Tourism to reduce visa fees by 50 per cent, Kenya certainly retained and probably increased its regional market share in 2009.
Another key factor in Kenya’s popularity is that Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport – which, incidentally, is partly located within a game park – is served by some 50 scheduled international airlines, probably more than any other African gateway. In addition, Kenya Airways offers the densest continental network in Africa.
When visitors arrive in Kenya, they find that its main parks and reserves are compara-tively easy to reach, either by a dramatically improved road network or via regular local air services with direct flights to and from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport and Mombasa. What’s more, there is accommodation to suit all budgets, from top-end camps in their own privately managed conservancies to more reasonably priced lodges.
In addition to the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park and Samburu National Reserve are top attractions, while for something a little different the alkaline waters of Lake Nakuru,
with its ever-changing and rose-tinted rim of flamingos, is not to be missed. But Kenya also has some hidden gems in the form of such lesser known parks as the Arabuko-Sokoke National Reserve – East Africa’s largest coastal forest – with its endemic and rare bird species; Laikipia’s unspoilt wilderness; and Shimba Hills, the last local sanctuary of the sable antelope.
DeDicateD
The Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO) has over 300 members dedicated to ensuring that visitors get to see the country’s many attractions. Its members help clients to make the most of the trip by providing them with carefully planned itineraries.
Some KATO members are subsidiaries or affili-ates of highly integrated international travel companies; but most are small, highly special-ised firms providing a personal service in a niche market. However, all members adhere to the code of contact and strict guidelines that KATO has laid down to ensure sustainability when escorting clients inside the nation’s parks and reserves.
Significantly, Kenya is more than just a wildlife viewing destination. Many KATO members
organise activity safaris such as mountain climbing and hill walking, birdwatching, cycling, golf and horse-riding as well as cultural visits.
Whatever visitors choose to do, or whatever part of the country they choose to visit, Kenya can provide just about everything in terms of meeting their requirements. Added to this, Kenya has a local tourism sector consisting of professional tour operators with the expertise to plan and provide every visit to ensure an unforgettable experience.

tHe Kenya Safari COde:a Guide tO reSpOnSiBle travel in Kenya
Our country is blessed with some of the world’s richest wilderness areas – and
some of its rarest creatures. In order to preserve this vital bio-diversity, we urge all visitors to read the following guidelines and help us protect our natural heritage – for our sake, and for the sake of all future generations.
when visiting Kenya:
· Always travel with reputable operators and qualified safari guides
· Insist that your tour operator uses only trained and certified professional safari guides
· Respect local cultures and promote community benefits
· Support projects and properties that benefit local people through employment, social development and the preservation of traditional livelihoods
· Support eco-friendly accommodation
· Try to stay at lodges and safari camps that look after their environment and support local conservation projects.
when on safari:
· Keep to designated roads and tracks
· Encourage your driver to stay on roads or designated tracks when visiting national parks or reserves
· Note that off-road driving can cause extensive damage to grass and woodland habitats
· Minimise disturbance to animals
· Wild animals become distressed when they are surrounded by several vehicles, or when vehicles come too close to them. Please keep noise to a minimum and never try to attract the attention of an animal
· Stay inside your vehicle at all times
· Do not stand on the roof or hang out of the windows and only leave your vehicle in designated areas. Remember wild animals can be dangerous
· Keep to the speed limit
· Most wildlife areas have a speed limit of 40 kph and animals have right of way
· Never feed any animal
· Feeding wild animals can upset their diet and lead to unnatural dependence on people
· Do not disturb the ecological balance
· Do not purchase, collect or remove any animal products, rocks or plants, seeds, birds’ nests or alter the natural environment in any way
· Take your litter with you
· Litter and garbage is very dangerous to wild animals. Please keep all litter with you and be extremely careful with cigarettes and matches as these can cause bush fires – especially in the dry seasons.

when visiting the coast:
· Always travel with reputable operators and qualified safari guides

· Respect local cultures and promote community benefits
· Support projects and properties that benefit local people through employment, social development and the preservation of traditional livelihoods
· Support eco-friendly accommodation
· Try to stay at lodges and safari camps that look after their environment and support local conservation projects
· Protect the marine environment
· Do not touch or stand on coral reefs and never dispose of litter on the beach or in the sea
· Never buy or remove animals or shells from the sea
· Avoid buying starfish, shells or any products that derive from turtles, whales or other endangered species
· Avoid buying undersized crabs and lobsters
· Avoid restaurants and hotels that sell undersized crabs and lobsters, which are contributing to the rapid demise of these species
· Support traditional coastal livelihoods
· Try to support designated market areas where traders are making an effort to keep their businesses off the beaches.
· Do not give money or gifts to children as this encourages them to stay away from school
· Respect local cultures and customs
· Always dress in a respectful way when visiting towns and villages and never bathe topless on the beach.
The protection of Kenya’s natural environment is a responsibility that is shared by the tourist industry, local people and visitors. Visitors
have the power to influence the behaviour of others. If you see an incident which clearly contravenes any of the above guidelines, please record the details and request an Inci-dent Report Form from the reception at your hotel. If you insist that these guidelines are adhered to, you will be playing an important part in helping Kenya to preserve some the world’s greatest wilderness areas.
For more information on these and other issues on concern regarding responsible tourism, please contact KATO.

MANY PEOPLE assume that a safari experience is restricted to a 4x4
vehicle and to game viewing through an open-hatch roof. In fact, there are many different ways to see and enjoy the comprehensive range of wildlife that Kenya has to offer. Some of the many options available include an opportunity for close-up views of small or shy animals on a walking safari; or panoramic vistas of the open plains from a hot air balloon.
walKing
Various Kenyan game reserves and national parks offer scope for walking safaris and, for many people, this is the ultimate safari experi-ence. A walking safari not only provides oppor-tunities for intimate encounters with animals that are shy of vehicles, but also allows visitors to explore areas that vehicles cannot reach.
Organised walking safaris are usually arranged through a specialist tour operator and accom-panied by an armed guide. There are age restrictions, too. Travellers must be over 18 and in good physical health. This is especially true of the more ambitious treks in the neighbour-hood of Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon and the Aberdares.
BirDwatching
Kenya is a destination of choice for keen birdwatchers. About 1,300 species of birds can be found in Kenya – more than in any other African country. The Rift Valley, in particular, has a large population of birds including raptors such as the fish eagle. The alkaline lakes support populations of flamingos and pelicans. A varied topography, ranging from woodland to desert and from grassland to mountains, accounts for the amazing variety of bird species. A particularly good time to visit is from December to March when migrating birds arrive from Europe.
photo safaris
Kenya is one of the world’s best locations for wildlife photography and many companies now offer specially tailored itineraries for serious photographers. While patience and luck are required to get that perfect shot, it is also important to go with a trained guide who is familiar with the geography and the animals. Travelling with a group of fellow enthusiasts is another key ingredient in any successful photo safari.
camel
The ‘ship of the desert’ is an ideal vantage point for viewing nature. This safari experi-ence is most common in northern and central Kenya and is often accompanied by a Samburu warrior guide. The camels are used mainly to carry camping equipment and to accompany walking safaris, but they can also be ridden where the terrain allows.
family
Introducing children to the thrill of an African safari can be great fun as well as a memorable experience. Many tour operators now offer child-friendly tours. Most of the itineraries are designed to appeal to younger children and include visits to wildlife orphanages, meeting local tribes and learning how to track animals – all excellent opportunities for educational enjoyment.
golfing safaris
The diversity of Kenya’s golf courses makes it an ideal destination for golfing enthusiasts. Many keen players travel to Kenya in order to combine a golfing holiday with excellent wildlife viewing. Many types of animals can be seen from the golf course, including various species of monkeys and wonderful birdlife.

honeymoon
An African honeymoon is the ultimate romantic getaway. Here, honeymooners can spend leisurely days on a luxury safari, while exclusive candlelit dinners can be arranged in total seclusion under the stars, in the heart of the African bush.
great migration
Probably Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacle is the great migration of wildebeest, said to be the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet.
The annual migration involves millions of wildebeest, which make their way from the Southern Serengeti to the northern edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Many safari travellers go to Kenya purely to experience this unique phenomenon, which takes place from late July to September.
Balloon safaris
Balloon safaris are one of the most popular holiday options in Kenya. Each day, more than a dozen balloons depart from sites near six of the lodges and tented camps in the Masai Mara. Take-off is before dawn, allowing guests
to catch the first rays of the sun over the landscape and then see the animals begin to stir in their natural habitat. Hour-long flights offer excellent aerial sightings of the game and the amazing topography. The balloon often descends for close-up views of the animals. After landing, guests are invited to a cham-pagne breakfast in the bush.
night game Drives
Night game drives offer a chance to view the nocturnal life of the bush – the time, in fact, when most animals are active. Such species include aardvarks, African wildcats, bat-eared foxes, caracals, serval cats and even the elusive leopard.
cultural safaris
Those looking for a greater understanding of the culture and people of Kenya may wish to combine their safari experience with cultural tours and visits. Kenya is home to a mixture of tribes, colourful traditions and a rich cultural heritage. Visitors can experience this diversity by meeting the people in their bomas (home-steads) and visiting local schools.
horse riDing
Avid horse riders will be in their element on a visit to Kenya, with opportunities to see big game and interact with wild animals while on horseback. Even the most inexperienced riders can enjoy the thrill of learning to ride in an environment of animal herds.
vehicle
For a classic safari experience, many would argue that 4x4 vehicles offer the best and safest way to view wildlife in Kenya. This type of safaris is ideal for first-time visitors and popular with all age groups. In fact, the majority of safaris in Kenya are enjoyed in the comfort and security of these specially designed vehicles that allow travellers to cover a large area and get a clear view of the animals.
self-Drive
For an unrestricted adventure, visitors to Kenya can hire a safari vehicle and enjoy the freedom of a self-drive safari. This is particularly recom-mended in the Northern parks and is restricted in the larger ones such as the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo. Travellers are advised to have their route well mapped out in advance, with lodging or accommodation booked and paid for in advance of travelling.

TRAVEL dynamics are changing and exciting possibilities are presenting
themselves to the traveller. Changes in the tourism industry are buoyed by the innate impulse to pursue new and exciting expe-riences. This usually takes people beyond their boundaries into other people’s terri-tories. The result is a meeting of different experiences, cultures and norms.
Many travellers from developed nations are seeking a simple, uncomplicated experi-ence, as close to nature as possible, in their growing quest to get away from it all and experience something wild and free. Many of the developing countries these travellers visit are seeking to modernise, industrialise and add more commodities to their lives. The meeting of these two cultures and disparate expectations is usually first mediated by the tour operator. Many visitors’ first and usually lingering impressions of a country will depend on how they are handled and managed by their tour operator.
The opportunity exists, therefore, for the tour operator to create an experience that is positive without being artificial. The onus is on the traveller to thoroughly research the tour
operators before making a decision to go with one in particular. This can make for a safari with a difference.
Ecotourism Kenya continually strives to make everyone understand that it is smart to be responsible; therefore, those who truly understand and work in the East African region should see that, for us to remain attractive and to have a unique product, we must protect the core values around the natural environment and communities and educate those who travel to our region about the value of partici-pating in conserving what they have enjoyed.
An experience that is environmentally, cultur-ally and socially sensitive can be developed for both high-end and budget travellers and both experiences exist in various destinations within Kenya.
Ecotourism Kenya wishes all travellers to Kenya a pleasant, rewarding experience as they travel through the varied landscapes available. Explore, discover and build great memories and lasting relationships with your Kenyan destinations and its people, plants and animals.

• Take time to learn the customs of the area you are visiting; it adds to the experience.
• Minimise your environment impact. Keep your waste in the vehicle until you can dispose of it carefully. Apart from being an eyesore, litter in the conservation areas can seriously injure or kill animals.
• Getting too close to wildlife amounts to harassment and can be dangerous. Remember, when in the wild, animals have right of way.
• Keep to marked roads and footpaths. Driving off-road in pursuit of closer and better views destroys the vegetation.
• Bones, skins, horns, teeth, hair, feathers, eggs or shells, all have a part in the ecosystem. Only take photographs. But check with your guide before taking photographs of individuals, people’s homes or places.
• Feeding animals can upset a fragile and precious balance, leading to unnecessary dependence on man’s handouts.
• Support conservation by paying your park entry fees or viewing fees.
• Look beyond the Big Five and discover the diversity of Kenya’s heritage.
• Slow down to enjoy the differences – you will be back with the familiar soon enough.

FOUR OF THE world’s last remaining eight northern white rhinos have
begun a new life in Kenya. It was on 20 December 2009 that Najin, Fatu, Sudan and Suni were welcomed to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, having been relocated from Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic.
The aim of the transfer is to provide the rhinos with the most favourable breeding conditions in an attempt to pull the species back from the verge of extinction. It is thought that the climate, diet and security available at Ol Pejeta will give the rhinos a better chance of starting a population in what is seen as the last lifeline for the species.
A huge amount of organisation was involved in transferring the rhinos by air from their former home. It was the high point of a project called ‘Last Chance to Survive’ involving the joint efforts of Dvůr Králové Zoo, Fauna and Flora International, Back to Africa, Lewa Wild-life Conservancy, Kenya Wildlife Service and Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
Ol Pejeta is East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary and home to 84 black rhinos and 12 southern white rhinos. It has been assessed to be the best location for the northern white rhino breeding project. As well as being located close to the environmental stronghold of the northern white rhino, Ol Pejeta has well
qualified and experienced staff to care for these species.
Initially, the rhinos’ diet was kept similar to what they had received in the zoo, mixing Czech pellets with hay but gradually intro-ducing African pellets, apples, carrots and bananas. Freshly cut grass has been combined with hay to introduce local grass into their diets and familiarise them with what they will be grazing once released.
well aDapteD
The first few weeks saw some much-needed rain at the conservancy. The rhinos soon made mud wallows and enjoyed cooling down in their bomas. All have adapted well to the change of climate, having been provided with heated sheds and daily outings at their former home in the Czech Republic.
Behavioural changes have also been observed, especially with feeding patterns. As noctur-nally active creatures, the rhinos now feed increasingly at night when it is quiet and they feel safe and cool.

HOW tHe nuMBerS Have dWindledNow listed as the most critically endangered rhino subspecies and the most endangered mammal species in the world, northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) formerly ranged over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In 1960 more than 2,000 of these animals still existed, but excessive hunting for their horn, hide and meat has led to an extreme depletion of their numbers.
Until recently, the only known population of wild northern white rhino was clinging to survival in Garamba National Park in the north-east Democratic Republic of Congo; but wildlife populations in the area have been depleted as a result of continuous civil war and armed conflict.
In recent decades the population of northern white rhinos in Garamba had fallen to about 30; then it dwindled to just four individuals in 2005. Sadly, there has been no sign of the four since 2007 and it is thought that the wild population may now be extinct. Thus, the focus has now shifted to the last remaining option involving the few northern white rhinos held in captivity.

Wildlife Safari is among the finest luxury safari companies in East
Africa and offers a level of product, service and value that is second to none.
Tom Fernandes founded the company in 1974 and he still maintains a ‘hands on’ control over the operation from the company’s head office in Nairobi. The office is open every day of the year with staff always available to assist guests at any time.
Over the years the company has maintained high standards of safety, quality, value and service while constantly reviewing and improving safari tours throughout Africa.
Wildlife Safari is one of the few safari opera-tors that own and operate an entire fleet of custom-built 4x4 safari vehicles. Every vehicle is complete with comfortable seats, safety belts, a large pop-up photographic roof hatch, dust proofing, luggage storage and cool box with a
constant supply of bottled water. All vehicles are equipped with a radio system (to commu-nicate with the Nairobi office), first aid kit, spare parts and a selection of field guide manuals.
The Wildlife Safari team of guides have an average of 30 years with the company. Each has an extensive knowledge of the history, geography, people, culture, animals and birds of East Africa. Each guide has only four or six guests for the entire safari and aims to provide a personal and unique experience.
Finest
To ensure that all guests stay in the finest luxury accommodation, only the best hotels, resorts, safari lodges and camps are carefully selected throughout Africa. While on safari, guests are guaranteed to stay at first-class safari lodges and camps situated in the heart of the best game-viewing locations and always inside the wildlife sanctuary.
Wildlife Safari understands that no two visitors are the same. That is why the company custom-designs the perfect safari to suit most special requests including weddings and honeymoons, family safaris, golf safaris and birdwatching.

Throughout East Africa the Keringet brand of natural mineral water has won a reputation for quality. It has achieved this by developing the key fundamentals of guaranteeing top quality service and value for its customers while respecting, understanding and appreciating the environment in which it operates.
In line with this philosophy, the company has developed its ‘Water for Life’ initiative, supporting local communities through part-nerships with the International Red Cross and the Childlife Trust.
In 2010 the brand has embarked on a major project to ‘Save the Mau’. From each bottle of Keringet sold, a contribution is made towards replanting, conserving and managing the reforestation of key areas of land.
The Mau Forest borders the Keringet district where the mineral water is bottled. The forest is a vital resource not only for the local commu-nity but for the national ecosystem. At present, Kenya’s forest cover is only 1.7 per cent. Rivers and lakes are drying up as a result.
Kenya needs 6.4 billion trees to be planted to achieve its minimum forest cover of 10 per cent in order to stabilise the ecosystem. The ‘Water for Life’ initiative will be looking for key partners in the public and private sectors to pursue this goal.
