Safari Travel enjoys an excellent reputation within the tourism industry. Within East Africa, we are affiliated with and fully licensed members of Kenya's Association of Tour Operators (KATO). This governing body regulates and promotes tourism to Kenya.

We have also built strong relationships with the airline industry. Our accomplishments over the past 10 years include:

• Successfully managing the operations of Royal Swazi Airline in Kenya, as their appointed GSA for Kenya.
• Successfully managing the operations of Kuwait Airways in Kenya, as their appointed GSA for East and Central Africa.
  

We are currently the appointed agents (GSA) for Air Seychelles. With this relationship in place, we can offer unique beach holiday and tour packages that combine the splendor of both Kenya and Seychelles.

KATO - Kenya Association of Tour Operators

KATO members observe a strict code of conduct designed to ensure that they trade honestly and professionally at all times. The Association also expects members to comply with the spirit of Kenya's tourist reputation, offering high quality service, comfort, safety and value to all clients. Above all KATO is committed to the true principles of eco-tourism, promoting low impact, environmentally sensitive operations to maximize visitors' enjoyment, understanding, awareness of wildlife & landscapes, and due respect to local communities and their cultures.

The full code is designed and monitored by the Ethics and Standards Sub-committee and endorsed by KATO's Executive Committee. It also offers a system of redress for agents or individual travelers ensuring that cases of serious dissatisfaction with a member's services can be formally aired and addressed.


The overall goal is to uphold the integrity of Kenya's tour industry. Members must offer clear, precise and useful information about the country and tour, backed up by good standards of service, equipment and facilities and a commitment to informing and entertaining visitors to Kenya.

APG - Air Promoters Group Association

The Air Promotion Group Association is a professional association of GSA operators around the world. APG admits only one member per Country or BSP, thus securing the highest level of professional membership, whose qualifications are subject to IATA consideration. Safari Travel is proud to be the associate member for Kenya.

The objectives of the APG association are to:

• Become prime part of the Airline Distribution system
• Be identified in the role of " quasi-airline ", having its own accounting code, adhering to IATA Standards
• Be perceived as neutral, innovative and capable of offering smaller Airlines services already enjoyed by larger carriers
• Grow away from the current GSA / Airlines relationship
  Provide neutral ticketing facilities for client airlines
• Cooperate with IATA Distribution Services in order to provide client airlines not already participating in BSPs similar facilities as major airlines.
• Establish a network of Associate members around the World in order to facilitate the mutual exchange of information
• Be dedicated to rendering service to Airlines
