Our Philosophy

CPM Safaris – Charles Pius More Than Safaris

Our story & values

More Than Safaris.
A journey hosted by people.

CPM Safaris stands for Charles Pius More Than Safaris. It is not just a name, but a promise: every trip is personally hosted, thoughtfully designed and carried by guides who truly care. With Charles and Pius as your core team on the ground, you are not just booking an itinerary – you are being welcomed by people who treat your journey as if it were their own.

We believe that a safari is about more than ticking Big Five boxes. It is about unhurried mornings, genuine encounters, safe and comfortable travel, and the space to experience Kenya in your own way – whether that is from a game vehicle, on foot, on a mountain trail or by the ocean.

Every route, lodge and activity we suggest is based on first-hand experience, trusted partners and an eye for detail. You will feel that in small things: the timing of a game drive, a quiet viewpoint for sundowners, or a stop in a village we know well.

How we turn plans into memories

Our philosophy comes to life in the way we prepare, host and follow up every journey. From the first idea to the last day in Kenya, you are never a booking number – you are our guest.

Listening first

We start with your wishes: who you are travelling with, what you have seen before, what you are dreaming of and what you are less comfortable with. Only then do we suggest routes, parks and lodges that truly fit.

Safe & smooth on the road

Reliable vehicles, experienced driver-guides and realistic timings ensure that travel days still feel like part of the holiday. Safety, comfort and clear communication are always our priority.

Local partnerships that matter

We work with hand-picked camps, lodges and activity providers who share our respect for wildlife and communities. Wherever possible, your visit contributes to employment, conservation or long-term projects on the ground.

Moments that define
“More Than Safaris”

Maybe it is a quiet coffee stop with a wide view over the plains, an unplanned bird sighting that keeps you at a waterhole a little longer, or a visit to a local project that moves you more than you expected. These small, unhurried moments often become the memories you carry with you long after you return home, because they happen naturally and without a script.

We build room for these moments into every itinerary: not rushing, not over-scheduling, and always leaving space for surprise. It is the combination of thoughtful planning and the freedom to slow down that allows Kenya to reveal itself in its most authentic way.

That is the heart of CPM Safaris: Charles, Pius and their extended network using their experience, intuition and personal hosting style to create a journey that feels natural, meaningful and truly yours. It is travel shaped by people who care — not just about where you go, but about how you experience it.
