Oluokos Signature

While many luxury safaris in Africa are foreign-owned, Oluokos is proudly locally run.

Oluokos Signature curates private, tailor-made safari experiences across East and Central Africa, designed for travellers who want depth, not excess.

Specialising in experiential luxury, Oluokos focuses on meaningful time in nature, expert local guiding and travel that actively supports conservation and communities.

Operating across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC, each journey is built around the idea that luxury is found in access, knowledge and intention.

Led by locals, rooted in community

Local guides, staff, artisans and farmers are central to every experience. Oluokos creates long-term employment, supports fair-trade partnerships, invests in local micro-enterprises and ensures tourism revenue benefits the communities living alongside protected landscapes. The goal is simple: tourism that strengthens local economies and offers real alternatives to extractive livelihoods.

Private and personalised

Every safari is fully private and custom-designed. Guests aren’t grouped with strangers and itineraries are shaped around personal interests, pace, and values. Whether that’s birdwatching, walking safaris, night drives or extended stays in one destination. It’s slow, considered travel, guided by people who know the land deeply.

Experiential luxury, redefined

Oluokos prioritises what they call experiential luxury, rare moments, expert insigh and authentic encounters over surface-level indulgence. Guided by five pillars: Conservation, Communities, Commerce, Culture and Consciousness. From reducing plastics and carbon footprints to encouraging longer stays and low-impact activities, each journey is designed to leave landscapes healthier and communities stronger.

Story behind Oluokos Signature
Oluokos Signature began in 2013, when founder Ouma Oluoko started a small walking safari outfit in Naivasha, Kenya, driven by a love for nature, birdwatching, and being on foot in the wild.

What began as a niche operation grew organically into a family-run luxury travel outfitter, expanding into immersive safaris across the region while staying rooted in conservation and community engagement.

Today, Oluokos remains a family-led business, with operations and values passed down to the next generation, who are already involved in itinerary planning, conservation work and nature education. The family-first approach shapes how the business operates, attentive, intuitive, inclusive,and deeply connected to place.
