Why Travel with Peponi?
Personally Hosted
From your first conversation in Australia to your departure from Kenya, Shilen and Sahel personally host your journey, working alongside trusted local guides, drivers and lodge teams we know.
Kenyan Roots. Australian-based
Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya and now based in Perth, Australia, we understand both the country you're visiting and where you're travelling from.
Experience Built Over Years
Long before Peponi, we were organising Kenyan safaris and experiences for family and friends. Peponi grew naturally from these journeys.

One Journey. Two Ways to Experience It
The Peponi Safari

Photography Experience
The same Peponi journey, with dedicated field-based photography guidance from Shilen for those who want to develop their wildlife photography.
Don’t just take our word for it. From people who have travelled with us:
Gary, New York, USA
"I was nervous about Africa. Shilen and Sahel made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who genuinely cared. Every moment felt personal, unhurried and safe. The Mara gave us everything it promised.“
Shyam, Perth, Australia
"The safari with Shilen and Sahel was nothing like I expected. No rushing. No upselling. Just genuine expertise and care. The number of animals and birds we saw was phenomenal.”
Sowmya, Perth, Australia
"We joined a safari to the Mara and Amboseli organised by Shilen and Sahel and everything went like clockwork from the time we left Nairobi to our return to the capital city. The guides and other staff were so nice and knowledgeable. The service received was 5*.”
