Discover what makes Kenya unforgettable





Kenya is the ultimate safari destination, home to the iconic Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos. Experience the thrill of seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat at world-renowned parks like Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Whether you're on a guided tour or a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, the breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife create unforgettable moments that will have you buzzing with excitement.


Dive into Kenya's rich cultural heritage by visiting local communities like the Maasai and Samburu. Engage with vibrant traditions, from colorful beadwork to traditional dances. Participate in a cultural exchange, where you can learn about their way of life and enjoy authentic cuisine. This immersive experience not only enriches your understanding of Kenya but also connects you to the heart and soul of its people.


Experience the breathtaking beauty of a Maasai Mara sunset, where the sky transforms into a canvas of golden clouds. Picture yourself perched atop a scenic hill, sipping a refreshing drink as you watch lone trees silhouette against the vibrant horizon. Below, graceful antelope graze in the expansive savannah grasslands, framed by the rolling hills of the Great Rift Valley. This magical moment is not just a feast for the eyes; it's a memory that will linger in your heart long after you leave Kenya.


Imagine sinking into plush sun loungers under swaying palm trees, with a gentle ocean breeze brushing against your skin on Diani Beach. This idyllic stretch of sandy shoreline is framed by a backdrop of a beautifully cloudy sky, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Whether you’re enjoying a good book or sipping a cool drink, the sound of the waves lapping the shore invites you to unwind and soak in the peaceful vibes of this coastal paradise in Kenya.

10-day couple trip to Morocco
“Started using Rough Guides guide books years ago back when I was traveling on my own during my 20s. They have evolved into more than just guides and can help connect travelers to local tour companies to create trips. We used them for a 9 day private tour in Morocco and they connected us to Tilila Travel. Mohamed the tour company owner was fantastic, along with our driver Mohamed and our local city guides. It covered most of the main cities and attractions and we had such a great time, exploring and learning about such a rich culture. I would definitely use Rough Guides again - glad it's still around!”

14-day couple trip to Morocco
“Everything was very organized, and timely, great communication throughout the trip. We had knowledgeable guides in every city/point of interest to explain the history and significance of sites. Mustapha drove us all over the country and told us about the culture, and traditions of Morocco. He also took us off the beaten path and introduced us to some of the locals. It was a very memorable experience, and we hope to come back to see more of Morocco.”

13-day couple trip to Morocco
“What an amazing experience. My husband and I were looking to visit Morocco and were not keen on a self-drive (which I still do not recommend) and also did not want to join in a group. We did have the option of taking a private tour with a South African operator but decided on Tilila Travel through Rough Guides. It turned out to be the best choice. They helped us with the planning of the route, suggested sites and activities, arranged all the local guides, accommodation etc, and even arranged for a Moroccan sim card (which worked better than the E-sim in rural areas). Always very quick to respond to our request and help with the visa applications. Our personal guide Tawfiq met us at the airport, and was on call through the trip, for pickups and transfers, meeting with guides, suggesting restaurants, finding banks, warning us of scams – you name it. We were so pampered. But even better, from the start we told Tawfiq that we wanted to have an authentic experience, and that is what he gave us: - a meal with a Berber farmer and his family; cooking classes in a Marrakech home; a picnic Moroccan style among the Rabat locals, and so many tales and insights. He went beyond the itinerary so that we could experience the true Moroccan culture, away from the more touristic spots. Tawfiq treated us like royalty, and we felt safe in his charge . We will definitely use Tillia and Rough Guides again.”

15-day couple trip to Morocco
“Tilila Travel gave us personal, prompt, polite, and extremely solicitous attention to all of our requests and travel needs. They arranged beautiful lodging, sensible schedules, and excellent local tour services. A great outfit to deal with. Our driver Tawfiq, was a hoot. We spent many hours on the road in conversation about Morocco and life on both sides of the ocean. He had boundless energy and enthusiasm, and always bent over backwards with great local advice for touring, eating, and sightseeing. We all laughed and sang a lot on our long travel days, while we listened to his playlists of Moroccan folk and dance music. He was on call for us in the evenings, and drove us to restaurants and entertainment, taking all of the worry out of navigating the cities. Tawfiq was more like a travel buddy than a driver, and infinitely better than Uber!”
