About Us
About Real Shangololo
Wholesome Travel Experiences
We craft expertly guided grassroots expeditions across Kenya — intimate departures limited to five guests and led by licensed professional safari guides who bring the trails and their stories to life. Journey off the map for personalised wildlife encounters, exceptional photography and unforgettable experiences.
Real Shangololo grew from a shared passion for place, authentic travel and carefully crafted experiences. We work directly with licensed local guides, trusted hosts and vetted partners to design small-group safaris and treks that showcase local knowledge and Kenya’s natural heritage. From the plains of the Maasai Mara to the peaks of Mount Kenya and the shores of Mombasa, our itineraries are shaped by people who know the land best — experienced guides and hosts who ensure every trip feels both genuine and expertly run.
Why “Real”? Because our trips are built on real, lived stories — not staged performances. We focus on authentic encounters, skilled guiding and thoughtful logistics so guests enjoy once-in-a-lifetime moments, exceptional photography and meaningful time in the field.
