Heads up, wanderlusters — Kenya’s $4B tourism market scene is getting a tech-fueled shakeup. Bolt is jumping into the safari booking game, going toe-to-toe with Uber’s new guided wildlife trips. That’s right: you can now book a Big Five adventure straight from your phone.
What’s the Buzz?
- Uber’s already rolling with guided safaris from Nairobi to nearby parks.
- Bolt’s not sitting back — they’re launching their own version, and it’s about to get competitive.
- Tour operators, take note: the digital safari era is here.
Safari Planning Tip
- Instant access to wildlife experiences — perfect for spontaneous weekend escapes.
- But don’t just chase convenience — make sure your guide’s legit and your ride’s not a beat-up van.

Safari Booking Checklist
Before you hit “confirm,” make sure your trip includes:
✅ Certified guides

✅ Transparent pricing with park fees included
✅ Reviews from real travelers, not bots
Safari Weekly Take
Nairobi National Park — just minutes from the city, packed with wildlife, and now app-bookable. But if you’ve got time, stretch your legs in Amboseli or Samburu for the full safari experience.
App safaris are great for quick thrills, but if you want migration magic or predator action, go with a seasoned operator and plan ahead
