About Kendirita Tours & Travel

Your one-stop travel and safaris partner — walking with you from the first travel question to your safe return home.

Who We Are

Kendirita Tours & Travel is a full-service travel management and safaris company based in Kenya, serving corporate, leisure, group, local, regional and international travellers. We are more than a ticketing office and more than a safari company. We are a travel partner that walks with clients through the full travel journey — from travel documents, visas and insurance to flights, accommodation, safaris, ground transport and safe return. Since 2009, Kendirita has grown into a trusted one-stop travel brand known for professional travel management, carefully planned safaris and holidays, and reliable ground logistics.

About — Story — Kendirita Tours and Travel

Our Story

Kendirita was founded in 2009 with a clear purpose: to offer reliable, personalised and well-managed travel services in a market where travellers needed both expertise and trust.

The name Kendirita comes from two African names meaning "loved offspring." Inspired by a little baby girl whose presence sparked the idea for the business, Kendirita symbolises love, new beginnings and a journey of growth.

What began as a tours and travel company has steadily evolved into a full travel ecosystem — supporting corporate clients, leisure travellers, families, groups, institutions and organisations across Kenya, Africa and international destinations.

While our services and systems have grown, the values behind the Kendirita name remain the same: care, trust, reliability and meaningful travel experiences.

The Kendirita difference

Hi Kendirita Team! Just reaching out to say thank you for an amazing trip to Cape Town! ✨ Traveling with three kids (and a toddler!) is usually stressful, but we were so relaxed because of your excellent planning. The Hilton stay in Nairobi was wonderful, the itinerary was spot on, and all our drivers were highly skilled. Hotel in Capetown was within CBD, very easily accessible to all activities in Capetown.. A heated pool in the hotel with the city's view was cherry on top! Breath taking experience! All this wouldn't be possible without your thoughtful planning! We also really appreciated that your team was always available online to help us! One small piece of feedback for the future: when you send the flight PDF, it would be super helpful if you could briefly mention(highlight) the flight routing in the message too. We completely missed that our return flight was via Livingstone (our fault for not checking the tickets closely!), but if we had noticed, we would have definitely planned a day or two in Zambia too with you!! Also please emphasize on booking a connecting room for our next trip for a smooth transition from one room to another since we were with kids. Overall, it was a fantastic, memorable, pleasant experience, and we are definitely planning our next tours with you guys. Thank you again! You guys are simply the best!

Well organized trip. Seamless airport transfers and hotel checki-in. The BNI meetings were well coordinated. The city tours, the quad bike and 4x4 land cruiser desert tour and cruise dinner were absolutely memorable. I would choose Kendirita Tours and Travel any time.

This firm should be awarded the highest award in tourism. They helped me arrange two complex visits to the Kenyan coast. In one, I had a blind, near deaf and lame kidney patient accompanied by 3 members of staff. They found us suitable rooms and helped us get the requisite menu for the patient. from time to time they checked on us to see whether everything was okay, and when it was not, they sorted it out. The service Kendrita gives is all encompassing care. They ensure that they work with your budget, then proceed to take care of every aspect of booking a holiday: connections, transfers, and specific requests. They have helped me with several international travels and i have come to trust their work. Apart from their sheer efficiency, they are very caring and do frequent follow ups on how everything is going. I call them holiday completers because they are keen on ensuring everything, even what you are not aware of is taken care of. To meet their clients' needs, they are flexible and always ready to listen. They keep their promises and give you the confidence that you are in good hands. And then you go on and find that you were indeed in the best of hands! Hongera to my favourite travel partners!

Best tours and travel agency I have used. My family is large so there was a lot of planning and back and forth! And through it all, the customer service was 10/10! Once the trip was planned, they helped us even when we were on holiday. From checking us into our flight and sending our boarding passes, to making sure we had the contact of our driver, and even making sure we were at the airport on time. Even issues at the hotel when checking in were handled very well by them! I will definitely be making all my bookings through them from now on! 10/10!!

Kendirita, thank you so much for organizing my Egypt trip, it was truly an unforgettable experience ❤️✈️. From booking my flights and handling check-in seamlessly, to having a welcoming team waiting for me at the destination, everything was so well thought out and stress-free. Your team was incredibly professional, warm, and well organized. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, giving me enough time to explore Egypt’s rich history and culture while still relaxing and enjoying the journey 🏛️🌍. Having knowledgeable, English-speaking guides made the experience even more special, they brought every site to life and made me feel comfortable throughout. I felt supported from start to finish, and I couldn’t have asked for a better travel experience. Thank you for the care, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality. I highly recommend Kendirita and the team to anyone looking for a smooth, memorable, and well-curated trip ✨

Our experience with your team during our tour training in Kenya was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized — our accommodation and transport arrangements in both Mombasa and Nairobi were smooth and comfortable. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our stay an enjoyable and stress-free one. We really appreciate how you made sure everything went perfectly. It was such a positive experience, and we’ll always remember your warm hospitality. Thank you once again for making our time in Kenya so pleasant and memorable.

Ruth Maina10 months ago

I recently used Kendirita Tours and Travels for my trip to Singapore and Malaysia, and their service was nothing short of excellent! From the moment I reached out, their team, Angel in particular, was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about creating the perfect itinerary. Every detail — from airport transfers to hotel bookings and daily tours — was handled seamlessly. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made every destination come alive with local stories and insider tips. What stood out most was their attention to detail and flexibility — they adjusted plans smoothly when I wanted extra time exploring certain spots. I truly felt taken care of throughout the journey. ⭐ I Highly recommend Kendirita Tours and Travels to anyone planning to explore Asia — efficient, reliable, and absolutely worth it!
