Albatros East Africa
At Albatros Travel East Africa, we do things differently. With offices in both Arusha, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, we are a true regional DMC. Our offices are small and for us, your travelers have a name, not just a number. Along with our personalized service, we have impressive reach and buying power and fulfill an often-overlooked niche in East Africa by offering private/custom safaris (fly-in and private guided driving safaris) as well as several high-quality, high-value scheduled group departures utilizing boutique lodges and camps. Our mission is to share the very best of East Africa with our trade-only partners.
Tanzania
Tanzania
Tanzania is a land of extremes. Home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, and its deepest and largest lakes, the country has the world’s largest game reserve and one of the most spectacular natural phenomenons in the world – the perpetual Great Migration on the Serengeti plains.
Kenya
Kenya
Famed as the birthplace of safari and the setting for ‘Out of Africa’ – Kenya inspires exploration and adventure on the wide African savannah. Visit the Great Rift Valley with its soda lakes and flamingos, enjoy spectacular trekking on Mount Kenya and a host of wildlife-packed game reserves.
Swahili Coast
Swahili Coast
East Africa’s Indian Ocean shores are made for postcards. In addition to mainland beach destinations, the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba are the perfect spots to wrap up an East African safari. Sea life, rich turquoise waters, and warm and welcoming people lure you into another world.
Why Albatros East Africa?
Style: While Albatros do offer two scheduled group departures, they specialize in tailor-made safaris for FITs and small groups featuring a variety of properties, often a combination of independently owned camps/lodges with those from property groups like Sanctuary, &Beyond, Elewana, Nomad, and more. As an independent DMC, what differentiates Albatros is their ability to “chop and change” properties (as Jules likes to say!), thereby designing truly tailor-made itineraries which will differentiate your proposal from other agents who simply sell the property circuits.
Bottom line: As a true regional East Africa DMC, Albatros combines the personal touch of a small team with local management and loyal staff with the credit rating, reach and buying power of a global company, giving you the best of both worlds. Read More
Meet Jules and Jennie (and the team!)
The team is headed by safari power-couple Julian and Jennie Camm, both East Africa safari industry veterans and all around great (and fun!) people. Their home base is Arusha but they split time between the Tanzania and Kenya offices. With a hand-picked team of passionate and knowledgeable safari pros in both the Arusha and Nairobi offices, they make safari magic happen for your clients. Read More
The first smiling face your guests will see if visiting East Africa with Albatros will likely be that of Nelson Reginald or Otieno Odhiambo. Nelson (Tanzania) and Otieno (Kenya) are Albatros’ “Client Liaison Officers” and they are the first to welcome guests on arrival in either Arusha or Nairobi. Adam and Otieno meet travelers on arrival, review their itinerary and field any questions or concerns they have. Then they periodically check in with the Albatros guide (or for fly-in safaris, the camps or the guests directly), so you’ll receive reports in real time of your guests’ amazing wildlife sightings and trip highlights – as well as a heads up on any issues or complaints – putting you one step ahead!
Albatros has a firm focus on the quality of their guides. With a team of 10 on-staff guides, many of whom have been with the company for 15+ years, they have developed a reputation one of the best guiding teams in the industry. All of the Albatros guides (both on-staff and regular freelancers) undergo an annual, week-long refresher course, with bird, mammal and botany training led by the extraordinary guide trainers Clint Schipper and Ethan Kinsey, who are also trainers for Serian. 
Community and Conservation
The Kusini Collection is proud to represent a group of like-minded businesses in Africa and Latin America, who believe in having a positive impact on our world. They collaborate with local communities and conservation organizations within their destinations with the belief that empowerment of people and place and being a voice for wildlife and natural areas will result in healthy ecosystems and communities. Here’s just a taste of what they are up to… Read More
