The brief

A travel brand that needed to feel both local and international.

Kiweewa Travels came to us with a clear vision — a travel brand that spoke to East African travellers without mimicking Western tourism agencies. They needed an identity that felt trustworthy and premium, paired with a website that performed well on slower connections common across the region.

The challenge wasn't just design — it was building trust through digital presence.

The process

How we got there.

01

Brand strategy & identity

We started with brand strategy — positioning Kiweewa Travels against both local and international competitors. From there: a logo suite, a colour palette inspired by East African landscapes, and a typography system that balances warmth with professionalism.

02

Website design & development

Built in React and Next.js — fast on slower connections, structured for SEO from the first line of code. The booking journey was designed to move visitors from browsing to enquiring with minimal friction.
