About Come Travel Kenya
A Kenya DMC Built Around People, Purpose and Place
We are a Nairobi-based destination management company creating meaningful Kenya journeys, seamless events, reliable travel support, and trusted ground handling for travellers, organisations, and trade partners.
At Come Travel Kenya, we believe travel should do more than move people from one place to another. It should connect them to Kenya's landscapes, cultures, communities, conservation stories, business opportunities, and unforgettable moments.
Who We Are
Come Travel Kenya Limited is a trusted Destination Management Company based in Nairobi, Kenya. Established in 2019, we design and manage travel experiences across Kenya for international travellers, corporate teams, institutions, travel agents, tour operators, Kenyan residents, and expats.
We specialise in MICE and business travel, experiential safaris, transport and logistics, travel support, travel documentation guidance, air travel coordination, and tailor-made Kenya journeys.
Our work is rooted in one simple belief: Kenya is not a destination to be rushed through. It is a place to be experienced deeply — through its people, wildlife, cultures, food, landscapes, heritage, conservation work, and stories.
Whether we are managing a conference group, designing a private safari, supporting a travel partner, or organising a local getaway, our role is to make the experience smooth, meaningful, safe, and memorable.
Why We Started
Come Travel Kenya was founded in 2019 by a team of people with a shared conviction that Kenya deserved better representation as a destination. Their roots in Kenya tourism go deeper still: together, they also founded Kendirita Tours and Travels, which has been operational since 2009.
A decade of ground-level Kenya tourism experience — handling travellers, building supplier relationships, understanding what works and what doesn't — informed everything CTK was built to be. Not a startup finding its feet, but a second chapter by people who already knew the terrain.
They saw a gap: a Kenya travel market full of potential but short on companies willing to go beyond the standard package, blend MICE professionalism with safari soul, serve both the international visitor and the Kenyan resident, and take genuine responsibility for the ground experience from start to finish.
CTK was built to fill that gap. Rooted in Nairobi, connected across Kenya, and committed to every type of traveller — from a delegate flying in for a conference to a Nairobi family looking for a meaningful weekend escape.
Then came 2020. Within months of launch, the world stopped travelling. Rather than fold, the team held together, deepened their Kenya knowledge, strengthened their supplier relationships, and prepared for the day travel would return. When it did, CTK was ready.
“Today, CTK continues to grow as a destination management company that takes its name seriously: Come. Travel. Kenya.”
