For Africa! <\/h2>\n

\t\t\t\tOur Journey\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

What has taken us away from other possibilities is our unlimited commitment to nature conservation.<\/p>\n

With this in mind and to share the love for land, people and nature, Apasio Safari Ltd was founded in 2018 and the Masai Mara Lodges were built.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

We work with the people who live and bond in this country. Not only do we want to give a memorable experience during the safari, but we want you to share our conviction and passion with us, that it is important to preserve nature and the creatures living there for generations to come. We have 25 years experience in tourism, of which 10 years in Kenya, we know our way and are happy to advise you!<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t Managing Director
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tElisabeth is the managing director of Apasio. Even though she spend many years in the Azores and in Argentina, Kenya remains her home. To show this and to share the love for land, people and nature, she built in 2008 together with Frank the Rhino Watch Safari Lodge. In 2018, Apasio Safari Ltd was founded and the Masai Mara Lodges were built. Elisabeth not only has an overview of the safaris, she also looks after the renovation and maintenance of the lodges and camps. It is the engine that keeps all operations running

\n\t\t\t\tMost airlines flying to Kenya allow 2 x 23 kg of luggage. You do not usually need that much for your safari. Therefore, we ask you to use the unneeded space and bring clothes for donations. We will make sure that they will get to people in need. Collection points are Rhino Watch Safari Lodge and Coconut Beach Lodge.\t\t\t<\/p>\n
