Confidence
The domain has been active for over 5,000 days, which is a strong indicator of a stable business rather than a temporary scam site. Our research verified that the company, Saxon Extraordinary Safaris Ltd, holds a valid Class C license from the Tourism Regulatory Authority of Kenya. Independent travel review sites show a consistent 5-star rating with dozens of detailed positive experiences from real travelers. While two minor antivirus engines flagged the site, these appear to be false positives given the overwhelming evidence of legitimate operation. The site provides clear contact numbers and physical office locations in Nairobi and Arusha.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The website functions as a comprehensive booking portal for safaris in Kenya and Tanzania, including Kilimanjaro climbs and beach holidays. It features detailed itineraries, destination guides, and clear pricing structures. While the automated crawler noted a missing email address, the site prominently displays Kenyan contact numbers and links to social media profiles.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a standard content delivery network with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The hosting IP has a clean reputation with no history of abuse or malicious activity. The technical setup is consistent with a professional small-to-medium enterprise.

Domain History

Registered in 2010 via GoDaddy, the domain has maintained a continuous presence for nearly 14 years. This longevity is a primary trust signal, as fraudulent travel sites are typically registered only weeks or months before they begin operating.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on kenyatanzaniasafari.com and not a lookalike like k-enyatanzaniasafari.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • kenyatanzaniasafari.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 83/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. kenyatanzaniasafari.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 46 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • kenyatanzaniasafari.com is 13.7 years old, registered on 10/6/2012 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. kenyatanzaniasafari.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • kenyatanzaniasafari.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 30, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around kenyatanzaniasafari.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
