Fitzroy Travel is an independent African travel specialist offering both tailor-made journeys and a small number of carefully designed group departures.

At Fitzroy we are committed to ensuring our presence is a positive one, acting as a bridge to foster cross-cultural understanding rather than mass tourism as a source of entertainment. We believe in empowering communities to invite guests into their world on their own terms, rather than exploiting them as products.

As a result, we build lasting relationships with our clients, for whom travel has a deeper meaning than just a vacation, that span many years and multiple journeys. As we continue to develop a deeper understanding of your particular interests and what drives your desire to explore, we are able to offer experiences to match your expectations. In our opinion, “There is no ‘best’, only the most suitable.”

Our safari was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, Paul with Fitzroy Travel delivered an unforgettable experience. They arranged three incredible locations, each perfectly chosen to maximize our chances of seeing a wide variety of wildlife. The camps they selected were run by the warmest, most genuine people, who provided us with exceptional food and service. Every detail was handled flawlessly. We’re already dreaming about our next adventure, and would definitely book with them again!

I wanted the trip of a lifetime in Kenya and Tanzania and Paul at Fitzroy Travel organised the entire thing in the most superb fashion! I had a bucket list of places I wanted to see but specifically Lamu, Tsavo and Watamu in Kenya and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti in Tanzania. Paul finessed all the timings perfectly so that I would get to see some of the Great Migration as well. My safari guide in Tanzania was truly amazing - very knowledgeable and also great fun! It was like being on holiday with a friend. The accommodation was top-notch - very comfortable and always incredibly welcoming. I loved every single minute of this trip.

Fitzroy was excellent - having never been to Kenya before, we really appreciated them sorting everything from point A to point B. The hotels and lodges they booked on our behalf were all incredible - each with their own unique character - and the hospitality could not have been better throughout. Amazing food, amazing guides, and the kindest people. I would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Kenya, particularly if it's your first time.

Our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania was incredible because of the attention to detail that Paul with Fitzroy Travel put into the planning of it. From our ease of transportation getting around to our incredible accommodations, my expectations were surpassed each day. We were able to time the migration of the animals perfectly. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Fitzroy are true specialists in accessing the wilderness. They know where to go and, most importantly, when to go there. Highly recommended.
