When an accident left him paralysed from the neck down, doctors told Pius Lenakukuya he’d never walk again. Fast-forward to today, and Pius is not only walking, but also fulfilling his life’s calling as a Field Guide, driving all over Namunyak’s wilderness, and inspiring Samburu children with his resilience, strength, and humility.

In a significant milestone towards low-impact, sustainable tourism, some of Sarara’s game-drive vehicles were recently converted to become fully electric – marking an exciting transition to emission-free safaris!
