We are one of the few female, black African-owned & run, luxury travel companies, offering regenerative journeys in
Africa
We are on a mission to connect the conscious traveler with experiences, properties and organizations that allow them to truly experience Africa whilst aligning with their values. We achieve this by combining our unique blend of African heritage and expertise with regenerative travel. Being born and bred in Africa, our team contributes many years of experience and deep knowledge of Africa's landscapes, wildlife and people.
Despite an upsurge in travel agencies offering ‘sustainable travel’, very few measure the real-world impact of tourism on the landscapes they visit. With partners on the ground, we are developing a robust impact measurement methodology that will allow us to measure the real-world impact of our trips on conservation and sustainable development and provide our guests with a breakdown of how their money is spent supporting Africa’s wildlife, people and landscapes.
What Sets Us Apart
OUR STORY
Travel has always been my passion—a love that was born from weekend trips with my family to Kenya's national parks. The photo on the far left shows my dad and me in the Maasai Mara in 1999. There was a rumor back then that the world might end in the year 2000, and my dad wanted to take us on a big trip before it all came to an end. He didn’t just take our immediate family, but also his brothers, sisters, and cousins. That trip was the beginning of my deep fascination with the world, with nature... a passion that has lingered ever since.
After nearly a decade of guiding safaris and managing lodges across Africa, I was disheartened by the greenwashing in the industry. This inspired me to create Africa Untamed, a company offering truly sustainable experiences. Our mission is to connect travelers with enterprises that genuinely support climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable livelihoods, advocating for regenerative travel to enjoy Africa's beauty while making a positive impact.
