Why I created Out of Office Travel
To bring clarity & insider guidance to a destination that can feel overwhelming to navigate alone.
A US perspective, shaped by living in Kenya
I've spent years navigating the gap between what travelers expect and what Kenya actually offers. Most people come with visions shaped by documentaries and Instagram which are beautiful, but incomplete.
What they don't see is the quiet magic: a morning where elephants walk past your tent, the cook who remembers your coffee order, the experienced guide who knows exactly where the light falls at golden hour. These moments can't be manufactured.
I'm a former New Yorker living in Nairobi, working closely with trusted local partners on the ground. That means I know the lodges personally, I have direct relationships with guides, and I can make calls when things don't go as planned - because sometimes they don't.
Thoughtful travel, not packaged tours
I don't believe in one size fits all itineraries. Every trip I design starts with a conversation.
Tailored Itinerary
Your trip is built around your pace, your interests, and the experiences that will matter most to you.
Local Connections
I work with people I trust on the ground - guides, hosts, drivers who take pride in what they do.
Fully Supported
From the first call to your return home, I stay closely involved while coordinating with trusted partners on the ground.
Who This Is Designed For
- First time safari travelers who want a trusted guide through the planning process
- Couples planning a special trip - honeymoons, anniversaries, or once in a lifetime journeys to Kenya
- Friends & families who want a memorable shared adventure in the bush and along the coast
- Private group retreats & corporate gatherings - including wellness retreats, leadership retreats, and incentive trips
- Travelers who value thoughtful planning, local insight, and a more personal approach to exploring Kenya
Think we might be a good fit?
Let's start with a conversation. No pressure, no commitment - just a chance to talk about your travel ideas and see if this feels like the right approach for your trip.
