Named for the leopard. Guided by people who love her.
A leopard chose our founder's tent, one still evening in the Mara, and never quite left. We named the company after her. Fifteen years on, our guides still read the bush the same way she taught them to, patiently, quietly, one story at a time.
We're a family-run, KATO-bonded, TRA-licensed safari house. Boutique by choice. Private by default. Every guest gets a real name, a real WhatsApp number, and a guide who was born within an hour of the park you're visiting.
Mission
To craft private, honestly-priced African journeys that leave every guest safer, more inspired and more connected to Africa than they arrived, while creating meaningful work for the guides, camps and conservancies that make the wild possible.
Vision
To be East Africa's most quietly considered safari house, the small operator that international travellers and discerning Kenyans recommend first, because we combine world-class hospitality with the authenticity only a family-run team can deliver.
A team you can call by name.
The balance between hospitality and authenticity, perfected.
Our African safaris offer a stress-free, luxurious travel experience without ever sacrificing quality or splendour. From the moment you land, we take care of every detail, private transfers, licensed guides, hand-picked lodges, so you can focus on the one thing that matters: living the story you were meant to tell.
A small, family-run outfit based in Ruiru, Kenya. Fully licensed. Fully bonded. Quietly generous. Every itinerary is designed one-to-one, never packaged, never rushed.
Kenya & Tanzania. One curated collection.
From the Great Migration on the Mara and the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro's snows, the coral coast of Diani, Lamu and Watamu, and the flamingo-fringed Rift Valley lakes, every itinerary designed in-house and privately guided.
