Our safaris
From the savannah to the sunset, with the big five.
Departure from Watamu with pick-up right at your hotel. Handpicked lodges and camps, 4x4 jeeps, a guide who speaks your language.
Tsavo East Safari – 2 Days / 1 Night
The classic Watamu safari: two days of game drives and a night in a lodge inside the park, among red elephants and savannah sunsets.
Tsavo East + West – 3 Days / 2 Nights
Two parks in one trip: the red savannah of Tsavo East and the green hills of Tsavo West, with Mzima Springs and rhinos.
Where you'll sleep
Lodges and camps we've slept in ourselves, not picked from a catalogue.
We sleep where we take our guests: only places we know first-hand, chosen for location, food and that extra something.
Waterhole lodge
Dinner and breakfast as elephants come to drink below the terrace.
Cottage with private plunge pool
Makuti thatch, private veranda and a plunge pool all to yourselves in the bush.
Deck and pool over the plains
Al fresco lunch and a pool dip with the savannah stretching to the horizon.
Why Colombo
Not just another agency. Your guide in Kenya.
We work the way Watamu's small operators do best: in person, with care, no middlemen.
01
A real local guide
Your guide lives in Watamu: knows the tracks, the animals and the right timing — not just the postcard spots.
02
English & Italian
Stories, explanations and assistance in your language — before departure and throughout the trip.
03
Small groups, real safari
No buses: 4x4 jeeps, few guests per vehicle, human pace and off-route stops when it matters.
04
On-the-ground support
We're in Watamu, not in a call centre. Change of plans, weather, hiccups? We're here, same day.
Your guide
“Karibu! I'm Colombo and Watamu is my home. Every safari I plan, I plan as if it were for my own family: the right places, the right timing, and the real Kenya — the one you won't find in brochures.”
Colombo · Founder & guide, Watamu

The best of the coast, in one day.
Sunset at Mida Creek, the Gede Ruins, the Blue Safari among dolphins: experiences to live between one safari and the next.
Mida Creek at Sunset
Watamu's most beautiful sunset: a boat ride through mangrove channels, birds returning to roost and an aperitif on the water.
Blue Safari – Watamu Marine Park
The coast's most loved boat day: dolphins, snorkeling on the reef, and a seafood lunch on a white sandbank island.
Gede Ruins & Watamu Town
A 12th-century Swahili city swallowed by the forest: palaces, mosques and tombs among the baobabs, ten minutes from Watamu.
From the field
