About Tulia

A Kenyan travel company built on the idea that the planning should never be the memorable part of the trip.

Tulia is Kiswahili for calm.

Born from a passion for seamless exploration.

Tulia Vacations Ltd is a fully registered travel management and tour operations company based in Kenya. We arrange African safaris, international holidays, corporate and group travel, and flight ticketing, which in practice means one team can handle a family safari, an annual company retreat and a rebooked ticket at two in the morning.

The company exists because of a specific frustration. Travel is one of the few significant purchases where the buyer is expected to become an expert in order to buy it well: which park in which month, which camp for a family with a five year old, whether that connection is legal, what the visa actually requires. Most people do not want that education. They want the trip.

So we take that on. You sit back and relax, and we hold the moving parts.

Vision

To be Africa’s most trusted and innovative travel companion, seamlessly connecting world travelers to African wonders and global landmarks through stress free, life changing experiences.

Mission

To deliver meticulously planned, secure, and inspiring travel solutions that offer maximum value, absolute comfort, and unmatched peace of mind to corporate, group, and leisure travelers worldwide.

What we hold to

Serenity

Tulia

The name is the promise. Travel logistics generate a particular kind of low grade stress, and absorbing it is the job. If you are chasing us for an answer, we have already failed at the thing we exist to do.

Integrity

Uadilifu

Transparent pricing and reliable execution. We tell you what a trip actually costs rather than working backwards to a number you have named, and we say no to things we cannot deliver well.

Customer centricity

Mteja Kwanza

Every itinerary is customised around the client rather than assembled from a catalogue. That means asking about pace, mobility, diet and interests before proposing anything.

Excellence

Ubora

The same attention goes into a budget lodge booking as a private conservancy stay. A solo traveller on a tight budget and a corporate retreat for eighty get the same standard of planning.

Why travellers choose us

Local roots, global reach

African destination knowledge held in house, alongside international hospitality partners. The same team arranges a walking safari in the Mara and a conference in Dubai.

Cost optimisation

Strategic relationships with airlines, hotel chains and safari lodges, used to improve what your budget buys rather than to pad a margin.

The Tulia promise

One dedicated travel consultant from the first enquiry through to your return arrival. Not a ticketing queue and not a different name on every email.

Tailor made agility

Itineraries built around your timeline and budget guidelines, and changed when your plans change. Most trips go through two or three rounds before they are right.

What travellers say

We told them we had eight days and a budget that would not stretch, and instead of squeezing in a third park they gave us an extra night in the Mara and explained why. That was the right call and we would not have made it ourselves.

Our flight out of Nairobi was cancelled at eleven at night. I sent one message and it was rebooked before I had finished working out what to do. That is the thing you are actually paying for.

We had a five year old and a grandmother in the same party, which every other operator treated as a problem. Tulia asked about pace first and built the days around it, so nobody was exhausted and nobody was bored.

Moving forty people to Naivasha for three days sounded like my entire month disappearing. In the end I gave them the dates and a headcount, answered a few questions, and turned up as a guest at my own company retreat.
