Kellen
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.

12-day couple trip to Rwanda & Tanzania & Zanzibar
“Insight did a great job setting up local support, local accomodation and tickets for our trip to and in the heart of Africa comprised of plane trip from Kigali to Bujumbura, bus trip from Bujumbura to Kigoma, speed boat trip from/to Kigoma to/from Gombe National Park (Jane Goodall chimp sanctuary), car and speed boat trip from Kigoma to Mahala National Park and and an on-the-spot charter flight 12 hours prior to departure with Nomad from Mahale to Arusha, as we changed our plans to take the train back from Kigoma to Dar on the spot. Hotels booked during this journey were all excellent be it the Roca Golf hotel in Bujumbura, the Kigoma Hill Top hotel in Kigoma and the Greystokes Lodge in Mahale, the latter one being as close to paradise, as can be expected on this world. The out-of-this-world experience in Mahale was contrasted by the sad state of affairs of Gombe's chimp trekking operation. The border crossing experience from Burundi to Tanzania on land as part of the 12 hour bus trip made me be thankful again of the ease of travel within Europe. And standing on the spot of the meeting Mr. Stanley met Mr. Livingstone made as duly experience our arrival in the Heart of Africa. ”
