Nairobi — Kenyan tour company Twiga Tours has been named the World's leading tour company by the World Travel Award (WTA) in Muscat, Oman.

It beat tough competition from local, regional and international players to win the most coveted prize.

Twiga's win helped Kenya scoop globe's leading safari destination in 2022.

WTA is the travel industry's most prestigious awards programme, rewarding leaders in the tourism, airline, hotel and hospitality sectors.

"Congratulations to Minaz Manji and his team at Twiga Tours in Nairobi Kenya for taking the WTA Global Award as 'World's Leading Safari Company 2022' and congratulations to Kenya for being named as 'World's Leading Safari Destination 2022'," WTA said in a statement.

Twiga was started by Minaz Manji and his late fathers after coming back to Kenya from the United Kingdom (UK).

It offers safari services to countries such as Tanzania and Kenya as well as Rwanda and Uganda.

Some of the popular safari destinations include Maasai Mara National Reserve, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, among others.

The firm was also recognized in 2013 by the World Travel Awards as the World's Responsible Tourism Company and the World's Leading Luxury Safari Company in an event that was held in Nairobi.

Tanzania's Thanda Island was named top exclusive private island, South Africa's Silvan Safari leading luxury lodge, and Tanzania's Singita Sasakwa Lodge the best Safari lodge.

"#Africa as continent took but few honours at the event but notably did Africa not walk away completely empty handed with companies from Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and the Seychelles being selected for a WTA Global Award," it added.
