A bit of history

Hodari Africa Safaris was founded to provide immersive wildlife experiences while supporting local artists. The company operates from the Africa Art Residency in Karen, a historic area named after Danish author Karen Blixen. The residency fosters creative exchange, and the safari arm was established to connect travelers with Kenya's natural and cultural heritage.
