Do you want to travel, or would you prefer a real experience? We are uniquely and expertly qualified to create your once-in-a-lifetime adventure in East Africa.

Discover the Magic of East Africa

Do you dream of triumphantly standing atop the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the rooftop of Africa, having pushed your previously-assumed physical and mental limits? Or are you more into a magical safari from the comfort of a Land Cruiser that you don’t need to self-power with your legs? From summit to safari to surf and everything in between, we’ve got you covered!

Why Choose Us?

My passion for working with you stems from the transformative impact East Africa has had on my own life’s journey. I'm committed to unveiling the enchantment of Africa and extending to others the same chance I had to experience its life-altering charm and splendor; infusing every aspect of your trip with the knowledge I’ve accumulated from living my own life in Kenya. I pride myself in providing you a holistic, immersive experience encompassing local culture, traditional cuisine, outdoor adventures, luxury safaris, pristine beaches, and authentic personal connections which you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.

But what makes me different? With a unique blend of an American upbringing, fluency in the local Swahili language, and a vast professional network established through living in Kenya, I receive exclusive discounts through special agreements with vendors by combining elements of your trip like lodging, transportation, meals, and activities. Immersed in East African society and having personally and extensively experienced every itinerary I offer, I provide firsthand knowledge, competency, accountability, and authenticity that simply cannot be found from an office-based travel agent who has never stepped foot on this mystical continent.

Growing up in the United States, I could’ve never imagined building a life for myself in East Africa. But after graduating from the University of Colorado in 2013, that’s exactly what I did. Along the way I married my wife, Selina, who is of the world-renown Maasai tribe and originally from a small village in Kenya. Living together in the Masai Mara region of Kenya, we are completely immersed in the culture and lifestyle of the regions to where I’ll plan your trip. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, magical wildlife, and endless adventure makes me grateful for the opportunity to live in such a magnificent land. Now, after over a decade living in rural Kenya, I am eager to share my life, my experiences, and my love for East Africa with you!

He planned the safaris in Kenya and Tanzania and suggested amazing places to visit and activities to do every day. If you really want to feel like you're in Africa, we highly suggest let Brian plan the trip.

…Brian's recommendations for our weekend in Zanzibar were invaluable. His profound knowledge of the region's hidden gems, including off the beaten bath hotels and restaurants, truly enhanced our journey, making it a seamless and stress-free adventure.

DID YOU KNOW? The incredible journey of Bomanoma started with an adventure like no other. In 2019, our founders Brian (@brian.gregory.ash) and Selina (@nkoileselina), along with their friend Nell (@nepollak), embarked on a breathtaking 1,088-mile (1,760 km) hiking trek across East Africa, traversing the rugged terrains of Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda - ON FOOT! This epic odyssey was more than just a walk - it was the seed that grew into the eco-lodge and organic farm we cherish today. Brian captured the spirit of this unforgettable journey in a short memoir. Take just 4 minutes to read it and discover the inspiring roots of #Bomanoma! #TembeaKenya #MagicalKenya #Travel #travelblogger #EastAfrica #OutdoorAdventures #AdventureAwaits #ExploreTheOutdoors #NatureLovers #WanderlustAdventure #HikingAdventures #IntoTheWild #AdventureSeeker #ExploreMore #campinglife #Memoir #TrueStory #BackpackingAdventure #Wanderlust #TravelTheWorld #ExploreMore #BackpackingTravel #NomadLife

Meet THE REAL Bosses of #Bomanoma! On the left, we have the unstoppable "Boss Lady" Selina. Before founding our eco-lodge, she was busy saving the world one girl at a time - literally! With the Nashipai Maasai Community Project, she rescued over 250 girls from FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and early childhood marriage. Yep, she’s that amazing. And on the right, say hello to "Mini Boss" Zuri, Selina and Brian's 3-year-old daughter. In Swahili, Zuri means "beautiful," but around here, it means "The Real Boss." Trust us, this tiny tyrant runs the show, and we just follow orders! Come meet the whole crew! Book your stay at www.bomanoma.com - if Zuri says it’s okay, of course! #BossLady #GirlBoss #WomenInBusiness #SheEO #FemaleEntrepreneur #BossBabe #WomenEmpowerment #LeadingLady #LadyBoss #WomenWhoLead #TembeaKenya #MagicalKenya #Kenya #Africa #Travel #travelblogger
