TRANSPORTATION
Lindberg Holidays & Safaris
As a sponsor of the conference Lindberg will provide complimentary airport pickup for speakers, panelists and guests flying into Nairobi.
Lindberg offers many services ranging from airport pickup and local tours/transportation to memorable safaris tailored to individual and group interests. Lindberg has always had a special focus on educational and mission groups coming to Kenya from the United States.
Lindberg Holidays was founded in 1996 by Charles Mwiti, a Kenyan entrepreneur who grew up in a village on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. He remembers waving at tourists in vans as they passed by traveling to the nearby national parks. His dream was to work in the thriving tourist industry. Professionalism, hospitality and flexibility are evident in all aspects of his company’s interaction with clients. Lindberg Holidays & Safaris has been serving educational groups from Chicago for more than 10 years.
