About Cherokee Tours
"Cherokee Tours welcomes you to Kenya, a land of beauty with some of the finest natural attractions in the world."
Cherokee Tours is an owner-managed tour company that specialises in safaris and beach holidays across East Africa. We believe that Africa's heritage should be recognised as it is the continent's most precious natural resource.
The rewards of sustainable wildlife and nature conservation are evidently visible through the benefits of tourism and the input of local communities residing on the boundaries of these wildlife sanctuaries. That's why as a company we strive to promote greater consciousness of eco-tourism.
With a wealth of experience in the tourism industry and by creating exceptional tailor-made adventures, our company is known for providing high-quality packages and services with comprehensive destination knowledge — making our clients' dreams come true.
