Reteti was founded due to local needs. The local people were finding orphaned or abandoned elephants. Orphaned, if the parents have been killed. Or, abandoned due to human intervention. In these remote areas, farmers make water holes or wells, which are a hazard to animals when they fall in and cannot climb back out. This is when elephants have to move on and leave baby calves behind.

What a women-only safari really means, and what it doesn't A women-only safari is not about exclusion. It's about experience. A unique experience that is designed for comfort, safety, and shared values. I understand these values, as for the past 16 years, I have managed a women-only group of metaplastic breast cancer patients. This is a rare cancer, and through our group, we ladies have bonded and share a set of common experiences and values.

A few weeks ago, I shared my early safari website with a group of friends and colleagues who have worked in technology, digital strategy, and growth for years. The feedback was generous, detailed, and direct. This is exactly what you want when you are building something new and want it to work properly.

A philanthropic safari in Kenya is not about ticking off wildlife sightings or chasing luxury for its own sake. It is about travel that gives back to people, to communities, and to the places that make the journey possible.

I have created this women-only eco-luxury safari in Kenya, via years of first hand experience and travel. I booked a budget basic safari and also private camps with personal chefs. Each experience revealed what truly supports comfort, safety, connection, and presence.
