My background

Born and raised in Kenya, my love for Africa has been with me from the start. Now based in the UK, I’m fortunate to visit home regularly. Whether it's the Masai Mara or Laikipia, each trip is always exciting – no safari is ever the same! Exploring different countries across Africa only continues to deepen my passion for the continent.

There is no place like Africa. There is something about the spirit of the people, the beauty of the land, and the diversity of the wildlife that touches the soul.

Tony Fitzjohn

After studying Tourism at university and working in various different lodges in Kenya I got to know the hospitality side of this industry and how important it is to create that once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have learnt that each safari is so different and unique to each individual person – similar to each African country – which is why choosing a favourite would not be fair. That said, my ideal trip would combine the breath-taking views of Northern Kenya, a peaceful Mokoro ride through the Delta, the rich culture of the Himba people in Namibia, and a few memorable gorilla treks in Rwanda.
