- THE HEART OF SIGHTS TRAVEL -
Visionary Founder - Safari Expert - Women’s Empowerment
Hello, I’m Catherine, the founder of Sights Travel. I started this company with a simple dream to share my deep love for Kenya’s wildlife, culture, and communities through unforgettable safari experiences. As a proudly women-owned safari company, we are certified by WeConnect International USA, and I am honoured to lead a team that shares my passion for creating meaningful journeys.
For me, safaris are not just about exploring Kenya’s breath taking landscapes they’re about travelling with purpose. At Sights Travel, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Every journey is designed to support conservation efforts and protect the natural environment that makes Africa so special.
As a strong advocate for women’s empowerment, I’ve made it my mission to ensure women are part of every step of this journey. Today, 80% of our staff are women, and we proudly partner with women-run lodges and local artisans, helping to create opportunities and transform lives.
When you travel with Sights Travel, you’re not only experiencing the very best of Africa, you’re also contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
