We will at all times utilize a professional, flexible, customer-focused, and caring approach, in the active promotion of East Africa’s unique and excellent facilities, natural attractions and exceptionally warm hospitality.

Our strength lies in the specialist knowledge of our local attractions and those of the rest of Africa, Middle and Far East. Our strategy currently revolves around the development of products that suit exploitation of our attractions and as well as the extensive contact base so far established in these locations.

Visitor satisfaction through personalized, flexible and relaxed schedules, together with cost effectiveness, will ensure that our best medium of sales, advertising and promotion, results from satisfied client recommendation. We intend to maintain a sustainable, competitive advantage, by constant achievement of these three core values.

Destination Connect is not a bottom line-driven Tour Operator where the only thing that matters is the yearend financial result, but rather an owner operated business that understands the value and effectiveness of good, personalized service, given willingly and cheerfully.

We have gained considerable experience in creating personalized tours across East Africa, with specific emphasis on the Kenyan Safari and Beach Holiday product. Where necessary, internal East African air reservations are also arranged. Door to door pickups and drop offs are considered the clients right, and, all itineraries are conducted in luxury 7 seater safari minibuses with guaranteed window seating, unless alternative vehicles are requested. Clients are in the care of a professionally registered driver/guide, who has been carefully selected on the basis of similar shared values to that of the owner and staff of the company.
