FIRE SEARCHES FOR THE DARKNESS

Listen... I mean truly listen... not just with your ears, but with your eyes, your heart, your soul.

At first, it is a whisper, but as you draw closer, you will hear its song. This is the stirring of the inner fire that seeks out the unknown.

When you find yourself yearning for the beauty of nature, for the scent of acacia smoke and the life-giving breeze under the vast Serengeti sky, then perhaps the time for adventure has come. The spirit of exploration is calling to you. When you are ready, I will help you remember how to answer, how to embark on the journey.

Rahim on Safari

With over two decades in the luxury safari industry, I've dedicated my life to transforming ordinary journeys into unforgettable adventures.

Growing up in Nakuru, Kenya, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Lake Nakuru National Park, weekends spent exploring its vibrant landscapes and diverse wildlife ignited a lifelong passion for nature’s wonders, shaping my enduring love for the wild.

My journey in the luxury safari industry began in Tanzania, where I had the privilege of managing iconic safari lodges that set the gold standard in legendary destinations like the Serengeti, the Selous, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to lead some of Africa's most renowned safari lodges, resorts, and hotels, from the idyllic islands of Zanzibar and Sao Tome & Principe to the vibrant cities of Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Maputo, and Entebbe. My travels have taken me on an incredible odyssey through Tanzania, Ghana, Mozambique, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Southern Africa, forever deepening my bond with this majestic continent.

But my true calling is to curate unforgettable experiences that touch the soul.

At Expeditions by Twelve, we don't just offer safaris – we craft journeys that resonate with the very essence of the human spirit. Our expeditions are born from deep, trusting relationships nurtured over generations, granting us access to extraordinary, uncharted experiences and world-class properties that remain mostly hidden from the rest of the world. This is the true essence of luxury – not just opulence, but access to some of the most remote parts of Africa.

I believe in creating experiences that foster real, heart-to-heart connections in a world that often feels too virtual. Your peace of mind is my utmost priority, and I pour my heart into building trusting relationships with every guest, ensuring your journey is not just enjoyable, but life-changing.

The African bush is where I feel most alive, and it's this passion I yearn to share with you. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or embarking on your first great adventure, I would be deeply honored to be your guide and host. Together, let's create an unforgettable safari experience that will leave you with memories that call you back, long after the journey ends.
