On a mission to bridge the gap between you & quality African safaris...
Thank You for taking the time to visit our website. I truly appreciate you.
Welcome to my dream; EVACAY. Living it means the world to me. I’m glad to serve you through a passion that serves my soul.
My mum and dad, bless their souls, bent over backwards to offer me and my baby brother a comfortable life. Christmas holidays were a highlight at our home. From unpacking the decoration boxes, lighting up the Christmas tree to hosting our favorite cousins for play dates. The icing on the cake was packing our bags, hoping into our Toyota Corolla and embarking on a trip. It always was a new location; an adventure. We did not have a lot but my parents made it happen...
An hour into a game drive at the Nakuru National Park, we are parked on the side of the road taking in the beauty that is a Rhino in the wild. This is one of the rare moments in life when my parents let me handle one of the family’s most prized possessions; the Kodak Camera KB-10.

Since we could not join the tourists in their cruiser, my cousin came up with what at the time, seemed to be the best possible solution.

I quickly opened the door and right as I turned to step out, “Mutugi” my dad yelled out my name. Now, it was the tone he used that made me yank the door back.
