Our Story

The Founder

Three Decades of African Hospitality

Star Holidays and Safaris was born from a simple belief: that the best travel experiences come from genuine human connection. Over 30 years ago, I started this journey with nothing but a deep love for East Africa and a commitment to sharing it authentically. What began as personal recommendations to friends and colleagues grew organically, traveller by traveller, story by story. Today, our reputation is built entirely on word-of-mouth, personal relationships, and the trust that comes from consistently delivering extraordinary experiences. I personally oversee every itinerary. I know the lodges, the guides, the hidden gems, and the perfect moments that turn a holiday into a life-changing memory. This isn't a corporate operation. It's my life's passion. Whether you're a first-time visitor to Africa or a seasoned traveller seeking something new, I invite you to let me create something truly special for you.
