At Come Travel Kenya, we deliver Silicon Savannah experiences — purpose-built MICE and business travel programs designed for the global tech ecosystem.

From boardrooms in Nairobi to satellite-connected retreats in the Rift Valley and along the Coast, we bridge high-stakes business with high-impact environments, enabling founders, investors, and corporate teams to work, connect, and reset — seamlessly.

Kenya's Tech Ecosystem, Managed End-to-End

Nairobi is the heartbeat of African innovation. It hosts regional headquarters, venture capital firms, accelerators, and fast-scaling startups — all within a city that can transition from deal-making to wildlife, coastlines, and conservation landscapes in hours.

We understand that tech leaders don't just need accommodation. They need performance environments. Our Silicon Savannah programs are built around Bleisure (Business + Leisure) — ensuring a frictionless transition between meetings, strategy sessions, ecosystem engagement, and restorative escapes.

Our operations extend beyond Nairobi to:

• Konza Technopolis
• The Coast (Mombasa, Watamu, Kilifi)
• The Rift Valley & Nyanza
• Remote, secure retreat locations across Kenya
