Meet our founder

Njeri Gachuhi

I am an award winning lawyer and social entrepreneur based in Kenya who is passionate about travelling and creating joyful experiences.

I created this community to help others experience the world and specifically Africa more intentionally.

As a queer African woman, I know how important it is to feel safe, seen and free to be yourself while travelling.

My goal is to create experiences where everyone is encouraged to explore with curiosity, travel with purpose and return home with unforgettable memories and a broader perspective.

Our philosophy

Leave every destination a little better than you found it.

We believe that travel should enrich everyone it touches. That means supporting local businesses, respecting cultures and traditions, embracing sustainability wherever possible and creating experiences that foster genuine human connection.

We celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity and believe that every traveller deserves to feel welcomed and empowered.

Our philosophy is simple: travel consciously, connect authentically and leave every destination a little better than you found it

Seen, recognised, connected

Built with purpose.
Noticed for it.

Independent recognition and partnerships that share our belief in safer, more inclusive travel.

“I haven’t traveled a lot before, let alone solo but Wakili made my trip so seamless. Everything I hoped to experience was met with detail and her availability throughout my trip made the activities easy no navigate. I can’t wait to book more trips with her. Absolutely amazing experience”

“We loved the whole experience. The level of detail provided by the Travelling Wakilli was superb! Super knowledgeable driver, lovely accomodation, and we were pleased with all the details inbetween. Thank you!”

Courtney K

“The Travelling Wakili is a vibe, energy and experience. You don't feel stranger anxiety even before the trip. I think that's the brand and essence of The Travelling Wakili.”
