The Aloha Safaris Story
A Safari Company Rooted in Adventure, Experience & Hospitality
Aloha Safaris is more than just a safari company—it’s a passion project built on a deep love for Africa, its people, and its extraordinary wildlife. Founded by Charles Waweru, a veteran in the safari and travel industry, our company was inspired by a simple yet powerful idea: to create exceptional, tailor-made safari experiences that blend adventure with comfort, luxury with authenticity, and exploration with ease.
The name Aloha has a special significance—it comes from the Hawaiian friends who helped Charles start his own safari company over 40 years ago. Just like the spirit of Aloha symbolizes warmth, hospitality, and connection, we aim to bring the same experience to every guest who embarks on a journey with us.
