About Wildlife Centre:
The headquarters of Wildlife Centre founded by Roland Smeets is located in Helden-Panningen in the Netherlands, for Safari tours we
have a office in Holland and Kenya.
In Kenya we work with our own Wildlife
Centre crew, safari vehicles, and drivers. The combination of
our team in Nairobi who offers Safari tours since 1990, and Roland the traveller with many years of experience
in the field, gives you the best Safari information you can wish for. We tried almost every lodge ourselfs, and we visited
all the parks many times to provide you the best information and routes.
