    Betty Gatwiri

    Africa Concierge

    I first fell in love with travel during my childhood, taking road trips with my family to our rural home in Meru, Kenya. I was captivated by the breathtaking landscapes and lush greenery along the way. Those journeys sparked a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world around me.

    As a travel concierge, I’m deeply passionate about curating unique experiences for my clients. I love helping them discover hidden gems, exciting activities, and unforgettable dining spots. Each client is unique, and my goal is to create magical moments that leave them feeling truly “wowed.”

    For me, travel is about more than just visiting new places, it’s about connecting with people, immersing yourself in cultures and creating lasting memories. Helping others experience the joy and wonder of travel inspires me every single day.

    My most memorable trip

    Laikipia

    A trip to Laikipia remains one of my most unforgettable adventures. The region’s stunning landscapes, from sprawling savannahs to rugged hills, felt like stepping into a dream. Horseback riding through the wilderness was a true highlight, offering an up-close connection with nature and its incredible wildlife. What made the experience even more special were the warm, welcoming people and the rich cultures of the Samburu and Maasai communities, adding depth and authenticity to the journey. Laikipia’s beauty and vibrant culture make it a destination that leaves a lasting impression.

    On my bucket list

    Gorilla Trekking

    I would love to go gorilla trekking in Rwanda. The opportunity to hike through lush rainforests and observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The country’s commitment to conservation and its stunning landscapes make it a must visit destination for anyone passionate about wildlife and nature.
