Safari Tours from Nairobi
The East Africa Hub That Connects Everywhere
Why start your safari from Nairobi?
Nairobi is East Africa's busiest international hub, with more direct long-haul flights than any other city in the region. East Africa Bridge Tours uses Nairobi as a connection point for multi-country EAC safari circuits — starting in Kenya, then moving through Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi on a single seamless itinerary.
- Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) has direct flights from most major European, Middle Eastern and Asian hubs with no layovers.
- Starting your EAC circuit from Nairobi allows you to add a Masai Mara extension before heading into Uganda and Rwanda.
- East Africa Bridge Tours's 5-country East African Community tour is one of the only tours in the region that includes Burundi — a unique differentiator.
