Taking our lead from an iconic tree

With its roots taking sustenance from the soil of the African wilderness and its branches reaching for the vastness of Africa's big skies, leaves fed by the African sun, the leadwood is legendary. It stands tall, undaunted by time, weathering the countless decades, impenetrable and indomitable. Like the leadwood, we've built our business to last, giving it strong foundations built on expertise and passion for what we do, with a direct connection to East Africa - our home.

LIVING OUR DREAM

We are a well-establish destination management company specialising in East African safaris with head offices in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi and a regional, operations base in Arusha, Tanzania. With more than three decades of combined experience leading safaris across East Africa, working with individuals, groups and incentives, we create tailor-made itineraries for a network of trade partners across the world.


Our aim is to provide exceptional service to our clients and their clients, optimising every safari to suit their needs. We excel in tour organisation from concept to completion, and are driven by our love for East Africa and experience gained travelling her wilderness areas. 

WHAT SETS US APART

The Leadwood Holidays business model is built on three pillars - experience, expertise and affordability. We want to share East Africa with you and have a reputation for creating amazing itineraries that take in the highlights of each of the countries we work in.

Experience

We pride ourselves on our ability to create the perfect safari fit for every interest, instituting some of the highest service standards in the industry. We are constantly reviewing what works and what doesn't to ensure we provide the highest level of customer service available in the travel industry today. We strive for excellence in everything we do.


We have chosen a select number of regions in East Africa that we know exceptionally well, focusing on these specific destinations. This allows us to offer you a holistic approach to every itinerary we create for you, drawing on comprehensive experience in terms of activities, transportation, accommodation, comfort and tour duration. 

Expertise

We know East Africa. It's not just our home but also a region we've been travelling and exploring throughout our lives. We offer a wide range of experiences from traditional wildlife-based safaris in some of the most iconic national parks and wilderness areas in East Africa to trekking the region's legendary mountain peaks. 



Every Leadwood Holidays safari includes attention to detail, from meticulous planning to the little gifts and treats we bestow on our guests throughout their journey with us, making them feel treasured and valued. They may begin their safari as strangers, but they will leave as friends.

Affordability

We offer you the best price available, guaranteed. Our presence in the region ensures an excellent quality/price ratio and most of the price you pay goes to the local teams we use, allowing you contribute in a more impactful way to the economic progress of the destinations you visit. 


Achieving the right balance between price, the quality of the service, healthy management and the equitable remuneration of our local teams is part of our DNA. We scrupulously take care that all the staff involved are correctly remunerated and we never seek to undermine our partners financially to obtain artificially low prices.
