Living in Kenya, I believe it is so easy to convince travelers of East Africa: beautiful all year round weather, rich culture, friendly people, wildlife, Sunday beaches, beautiful landscape … and the list goes on and on. I am a specialist in planning safaries and travel experiences, particularly those promoting sustainable tourism. I am also well-travelled both locally and internationally and this makes it easier to understand different cultures and needs.
Our travel agency operates in many countries in East Africa, as well as Madagascar. We have local operations on the ground and also a 24/7 emergency phone number for all travelers in case of any incidents. We believe that East Africa is a diamond in the raw and we’re enthusiastic about sharing this gem with the world. We offer high-end safaris as well as personalized cultural tours. Multi-country itineraries are possible and our highlight trips include close up wildlife encounters in Uganda and Kenya.
Our tours are best suited to those looking for a safari & cultural experiences with everything taken care of for them.

I am Malagasy, from Antananarivo. After studying at the University of Antananarivo and Saarland in 1990, I have been a tourist guide throughout the island for over 10 years. I have seen all major tourist areas from classic to adventure, enjoyed trekking in the rain and dry forests, the Tsingy, river trips, watching lemurs and birds, tasting local foods, seafood, tropical fruits, or simply relaxing on the beach. My job is my hobby. I do educational tours twice a year to learn or review products and offer the right tours for your needs. With our trained staff, I’m happy to plan your dream tour together.

7-day couple trip to Madagascar
“With a bit of delay, we would like to thank Rough Guides for excellent arrangements of our tour of Madagascar on 23-29 October. We were impressed by the professionalism, attention and overall service of all involved. Kellen worked with us patiently over the months of preparations and skilfully crafted the itinerary to our needs, accommodating all special requests. She also provided very detailed and objective updates on the situation in the country during the unrest, leaving it to us to take the decision whether to travel or not. We are glad that we decided to proceed with the trip and visited amazing Madagascar. We visited Antananarivo, Kirindy Forest, Morondava and Andasibe national Park. Have seen a lot of lemurs, grand baobabs and even 'dreadful' fossa. We are most thankful to both our guides - Gaetan and Hery, whose company we enjoyed greatly - they are absolute professionals and fantastic persons, we learnt a lot about this beautiful country from them. Can definitely recommend services of Rough Guides to the future visitors to Madagascar. Sergey, Svetlana. Limassol - CYPRUS.”

“Engaged them in planning my Madagascar trip. I explored a few options before using tough guides. I liked them as they are responsive , understand I don’t want to spend too much time in car while want to see lumurs, chameleons, baobobs and Tsingy where we also want to scuba dive. Kellen put me to talk to the local guides and we planned the trip together. The dive shop they arranged for us were good quality dive shop (nosy be scuba), the car is nice , so, they give you back quality stuff. Highly recommend to use them”
