HOST & GUIDE

With over two decades of hands-on experience exploring, guiding, and leading operations across Africa, Wiz Kennedy is a seasoned adventurer whose career reflects a deep-rooted spirit of resilience, curiosity, and adaptability. Having travelled extensively across 21 African nations, he has developed an intimate understanding of the continent’s diverse landscapes, rich cultures, and extraordinary wildlife.

Wiz’s passion for adventure began early in life, taking him on ambitious expeditions through some of the world’s most remote regions - including the Arctic, the Himalayas, and the steppes of Asia. In 2008, he and his then-girlfriend, Juju, undertook a remarkable journey driving from Scotland to Kenya via the Sahara Desert. Since settling in Kenya, Wiz has continued to explore with purpose, combining his love of travel with meaningful operational roles that have deepened his connection to the land and its people.

Wiz is also husband to Juju, and father to three children, making him a fabulous family guide and host.

When he’s not hosting guests, you’ll likely find Wiz fly fishing, growing food, freeride skiing, or inventing new uses for old safari kit. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Wiz is deeply committed to conservation and to protecting the spaces that inspire him. His ethos - “Explore, connect, inspire; protect earth” -shapes every journey he leads, grounding it in sustainability and respect for the natural world.

Wiz’s approach to guiding is rooted in active authenticity and respect for nature, ensuring that each journey with him not only creates lasting memories but also fosters a greater appreciation for the wild places that remain on Earth.

JOINT FOUNDER & MARKETING

Having been brought up in a family where safari was part of our daily life, Juju is au fait with all things safari! Her step-father, Tony Church, established Safaris Unlimited in 1971 and was a real pioneer in the world of horseback safaris.

With a Social Anthopology Masters Degree under her belt, Juju started working in the travel and safari industry with Suzanne Coupe, at Classic Representation, representing and promoting high end luxury camps around Southern Africa. In 2008 Wiz and Juju travelled overland from Edinburgh to Nairobi taking three months to explore France, Italy, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Northern Kenya.

In 2008, Juju set up The Safari Collection with Tanya & Mikey Carr-Hartley, and then went on to work with The Safari & Conservation Company heading up their Marketing and Sales department from 2010 - 2012. She is better known as the Founder of Greenspoon, Kenya’s first online supermarket focused on sustainability and sourcing. Whilst Juju has a full time job at Pembroke House, where their children are at school, during the holidays she is in camp helping run the kitchens, and guide. She has her Bronze level KPSGA and has guided for Safaris Unlimited in the past.

Juju is passionate about food in camp, and loves exploring what is possible with locally sourced ingredients. The menus and food at Wiz’s Camp promise to be delicious and exciting. She is also Mummy to three children - Saskia aged 11, Bertie aged 9 and Rose aged 4. They are very much part of the furniture!
