Welcome to Mbutu
A local company from the first email to the last game drive
Mbutu Tours & Safaris is based in Nairobi. We plan each safari ourselves, drive it in vehicles we own and stay on call while you travel.
That means the person who answers your enquiry knows the roads, the lodges and the season you are travelling in. Whether you want the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara, elephants under Kilimanjaro in Amboseli or a few days on the beach in Diani or Watamu afterwards, we put it together as one journey.
