The team behind the front seat.

Frontseat Tourguide is a Nairobi-run safari and tour operator built around one idea — the best way to see Kenya is with someone who knows the roads, the reserves, and the people who live alongside them.

Our Story

Started with one route, one vehicle, and a front seat view of the Mara.

Frontseat Tourguide began with a simple habit: guiding friends and family on trips into the Maasai Mara, planning the route from Nairobi and driving it personally so nothing was left to chance. Word travelled faster than expected, and the same care shown on those early trips became the standard for every booking that followed.

Today the work is run from a small operations office in Nairobi, with a base camp presence in the Mara itself. The company has grown to cover destinations well beyond the Mara, but the approach hasn't changed — plan properly, travel with someone who knows the ground, and put the guest in the front seat of the experience.
