Our philosophy

Nairobi shouldn't feel overwhelming.
It should feel like an adventure.

Whether you have 4 hours in transit or a full week to explore, arriving in a city you don't know — unsure of where to go, what to do, how to get there safely, or who to trust — can quickly turn excitement into stress. That's exactly what Jambo Pass exists to remove.

🛡

Safety first, always

Your driver-guide knows the city inside out — the safe routes, the right spots, the local knowledge that no guidebook gives you.

🤝

One point of contact

From the moment you book to the moment you leave, you have one person handling everything. No confusion, no hand-offs.

🎒

Built for every traveller

Solo explorer, couple, family, colleagues — we've designed every service to work for any group size, any schedule, any budget.

🧳

Travelling solo or in transit?

A layover in Nairobi, a solo trip, or just a few hours between flights? We'll make sure those hours are unforgettable. One contact, one driver-guide, every detail handled — you'll explore with confidence, knowing someone who truly knows this city is right there with you the whole time.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Coming as a group?

Friends, family, or colleagues — up to 5 people, one flat daily rate, one booking. Nobody has to take on the organiser role. Everyone arrives at the same place, at the same time, with the same zero-stress experience. The bigger the group, the better the value per person.

📸

Your memories, included. Free.

Your guide carries a quality camera throughout the day. Candid shots at the park, portraits at the market, the moments you'd have missed with a phone. A private photo album lands in your WhatsApp within 24 hours — no watermarks, no upsell. Just your memories, beautifully captured.

Our story

I moved to Nairobi so you don't have to figure it out alone

"Africa wasn't in the plan — it became the plan."

I grew up in Paris, spent years navigating London's energy, and then made the decision most people called surprising: I moved to Nairobi.

What I found here — wildlife literally outside the city, the warmth, the food, the pace of life — was unlike anywhere I'd lived before. But I also quickly understood how much first-time visitors miss, stress over, or get completely wrong: wrong areas, wrong timing, paperwork surprises, tourist traps.

Jambo Pass was built from that experience. The service I wish had existed when I arrived — one that handles everything before you land, and stays with you while you're here. Spoken in French and English, because Kenya deserves more than just an English-language experience.

Common questions

FAQs

Do I need a visa to enter Kenya?

Kenya uses an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) which most nationalities apply for online. We'll walk you through it step by step after you book.

I'm only in Nairobi for a few hours — is that enough?

Absolutely. We specialise in making transit stopovers count. Tell us how long you have and we'll build the best possible itinerary for your window of time.

What vaccines are required?

Yellow fever is required when arriving from certain countries. After booking, we send you a personalised checklist based on your nationality and travel history.

Can activities be spread across multiple days?

Yes. Tell us your travel dates when you book and we'll build an itinerary that flows well — no back-tracking, no double-booking.

Is the driver available for airport transfers?

Yes, airport transfers are available as a separate add-on. Mention it when you book and we'll include it in your quote.

What languages do you speak?

French and English — fluently. Whether you prefer to communicate in French or English, Lamine handles everything in both languages.
