About Ajabu Wild

Our Story

Portrait of Dharini Nathwani

Dharini Nathwani

With roots spanning Africa, India, and the UK, Dharini brings a lifelong curiosity for the wild and a passion for exploring places where nature still speaks louder than people. Having spent much of her childhood in Kenya, she knows the country's hidden corners like few others — from remote savannahs to little-known coastal hideaways. Over the past decade, Dharini has combined her background in international development with her love for adventure to design and lead meaningful journeys across Kenya. She has cultivated an exceptional network of local guides, rangers, and communities, ensuring every trip offers authentic connections and unforgettable encounters.

Dr. Theo Hollander

A professional peacebuilder with over 15 years of experience across Africa, Theo brings the same curiosity, empathy, and sense of adventure that define his work to the journeys he leads. Having spent years exploring northern Kenya's wild and remote landscapes, he combines deep regional knowledge with trusted relationships across local communities. A passionate traveller and natural storyteller, Theo's adventures are infused with humour, insight, and a genuine love for connecting with people.

My memories of wild Africa, although punctuated by high points of excitement, are filled with the moments and times of serenity — times when it seems the balance, all too briefly, is perfect.

In Their Words

Travellers on Ajabu Wild

Ajabu Wild took us far beyond the usual safari trails — camping under the stars in northern Kenya was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Remote, raw, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Juliet Field·London, UK
Every detail was so well thought through — from the lodges to the wild camping spots with no one else for miles. You don't just see Kenya with Ajabu Wild — you feel it.
Luniya Msuku·Buffalo, USA
I'll never forget the stillness of being in nature. Ajabu Wild gave us an experience that was both humbling and transformative — real wilderness, real connection.
