Graceful, powerful, and fiercely independent, female leopards are the ultimate survivors of the African wilderness.

Unlike lions, they live solitary lives, expertly navigating vast territories while raising their cubs alone.

Their incredible stealth and adaptability make them some of the most elusive big cats to spot on safari.
With their keen senses and remarkable agility, these queens of the bush blend seamlessly into the landscape—only revealing themselves when they choose.

Have you been lucky enough to see a leopard in the wild?

The Sarara story and their Milk to Market program is an incredible initiative. It allows Samburu women to sell excess goat milk to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, providing vital nutrition for orphaned elephants while supporting local families and promoting sustainable land management.

What began during the pandemic has grown into a powerful force—nourishing elephants, empowering women, and protecting the land.

Here is a link to learn more and ways to help this amazing project who are celebrating their 4th year:

It makes our day when our clients have had wonderful trip. Beth and Chris and their family recently had a week safari in Kenya. Here is their lovely feedback:

“We were looking for a one-week safari experience, and John Harvey gave us very good guidance, actually getting on a call with our entire family to discuss the attributes of various locations and time of year.

The experience we had in Kenya in the Masai Mara was phenomenal - all the attention and services and not one missing piece in terms of pickups and transport to hotels, airports, etc.

The safari guides and accommodations were excellent as well - really beyond excellent. We would say they were extraordinary considering we are basically out in the wilderness with few services”
