What we do

Four ways to meet Kenya

Every experience includes private hotel pickup from anywhere in Nairobi, your guide and all safety gear. You bring nothing but yourself.

01

No minibus. No window between you and the giraffe. Ride out across private conservancy land on horseback, quad, camel or e-bike — close enough to the ground to hear it, close enough to the animals that they behave as though you belong there.

For the guests who want their heart rate to do the talking. Live-fire instruction on a professional range, or 10,000 feet of open sky above the Indian Ocean.

Our founder grew up on the Kenyan coast, and it shows. Diani’s reef is one of the finest dive sites in East Africa — and we’ve been swimming it since long before we sold tickets to it.

A hot air balloon glows yellow and orange from within against a dark night sky, city towers faint behind it

Kenya looks different from above. A tethered hot air balloon rises around 300 feet at sunrise on weekends and public holidays, with the city waking up beneath you. Or take the whole helicopter and go wherever you like, from a loop over Nairobi to the Mara and back.

Our story

A family business, built from a lifetime of exploring

Ruyah is family-run, and you’ll feel it. There’s no call centre, no booking agent, no script. When you message us, you’re talking to the people who will meet you at your hotel.

Our founder grew up in Mombasa, on the coast, outdoors more often than in. Years of exploring Kenya — following tracks, asking questions, turning down roads that didn’t look like roads — built up a private collection of places most visitors never hear about. Conservancies you won’t find on a booking site. Rides that no other operator runs.

This business exists to share that collection. Our guides are local, friendly and fluent in English, and they’ll tell you things no guidebook has. We handle the transfers, the meals, the gear and the logistics — so the only thing left for you to do is the part worth remembering.

Guests from the Netherlands to the United States, and one thing in common

An absolutely unforgettable experience! The quad bike wildlife safari was one of the best things I’ve done in Nairobi. Cruising through the dusty trails with views of the savannah and seeing giraffes, zebras and antelopes alongside the path was incredible. The professional guides and delicious three-course meal made it the perfect mix of adventure, nature and comfort. Highly recommended!

AdamKenya · ATV / Quad Bike Wildlife Safari

This was the most authentic wildlife experience. The camel ride was unique and enjoyable, the scenery was beautiful, and the conservancy felt very private. The lodge by the lake was lovely and the meal afterwards was excellent. The best part was that there were no hidden costs and everything was so well organized. I’m really happy I chose this activity!

MariyahNetherlands · Camelback Wildlife Safari

Amazing! Even as a first-time rider, I felt completely comfortable and safe on this horseback safari. The guide explained everything clearly, and the horses were calm and easy to ride. It was a relaxed and enjoyable experience and the highlight of my trip!

GetYourGuide travellerMadagascar · Horseback Wildlife Safari

Absolutely outstanding! The pickup was prompt and we were greeted at the lodge with the bikes. We saw all sorts of animals on our tour, including giraffes and zebras. The meal afterwards was gorgeous, and the beautiful sunset made the experience even more special. All in all, a fantastic experience!

KerrieUnited Kingdom · E-Bike Wildlife Safari

What an amazing experience! Everything was smoothly organized, and the team went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and confident before starting. The safety briefing was very thorough, and you could tell they take safety seriously at every step. The equipment was of excellent quality and well maintained, which made the whole experience feel very professional. We had so much fun and would definitely do it again!

MustafaKenya · Shooting Range Adventure

Amazing! Very well organized and took all the responsibility off my shoulders. The goal was to enjoy the experience without having to worry about safety, comfort or anything else — this definitely met the goals and exceeded all expectations!
