Away From Home Adventures

Our Expert Safari Guides

The guide is the most important element of any safari. Meet the Kenyans who will introduce you to Africa’s wild places — and to the wildlife that defines them.

Our Field Experts

The People Who Make It All Possible

Every AFHA guide is KWS certified, speaks fluent English, carries comprehensive wilderness first aid certification, and has a minimum of 8 years of active Kenya field experience. We don’t hire guides — we partner with wildlife experts.
