Our story

How we came to hospitality

Next Level began in Nairobi five years ago with a simple job: helping local businesses be seen. Then the restaurants called. Then the hotels, the coastal villas, a lodge on the shores of Lake Duluti, an airline.

Somewhere along the way we noticed what the bigger agencies kept missing. The guests our clients wanted most, Muslim families travelling from Mombasa to Muscat, were not being spoken to. They were being spoken past.

So we learned. We reshot rooms with families in mind, rewrote menus so nobody had to ask twice, and briefed front desks to greet guests with a warmth that felt like home.

Today that is what we do, for the brands who take the welcome as seriously as we do.

What we stand for

Amana, trust
We never overstate what you offer. Guests who arrive and find exactly what they were promised come back.
Ikram, honouring the guest
Every decision starts with the person walking through your door.
Ihsan, excellence
We do the work beautifully, even the parts nobody will see.
Karibu, warmth
We are East African. Welcome is in our bones.

  4. Grow

    We launch, listen again and refine so that the good work keeps bringing people through your door.
