Our Story
Trips2Africa was born from frustration. As a Kenyan tour operator watching friends and colleagues struggle with unfair commission platforms, our founder witnessed firsthand how international booking sites were extracting wealth from African businesses.
The breaking point came when a safari operator in Tanzania shared that one online Bookings platform charged him $400 in quote fees in one month, yet he only received two actual bookings. 75% of the “leads” were fake or never responded. This wasn’t sustainable for African businesses.
Local Expertise Matters
Supporting African operators means authentic experiences and fair economic distribution
