Cath's Journey

Born under African skies, Cath was raised in Kenya, where the magic of the continent became part of her soul. There's a saying that once you visit Africa, it stays in your blood, for Cath, it's been a lifelong love affair.

Her deep personal knowledge of Kenya, from the sweeping savannas of the Masai Mara to the pristine beaches of the coast, allows her to craft authentic experiences that go beyond typical tourism. She knows the hidden gems, the best seasons, and the perfect lodges for every type of traveler.
