Meet your Kenya Safari Wedding Planner and Photographer

I am Wanjira,

An elopement & destination wedding planner with over 10 years of curating amazing memories for couples getting married in East Africa. There is just something magical about Maasai Mara. The breathtaking beauty of the landscapes, incredible wildlife with the fusion of the Maasai culture, I can never get enough of it.

It’s hard to believe that I have planned so many weddings in the last 10 years, every wedding feels like it’s the first. I am a talented luxury wedding planner and event designer, with certification from Weddings Beautiful Worldwide (USA). I am all about making your planning process easy and making all those moving parts fall into place as if by magic while having loads of fun.

I love, and literally get goosebumps that moment the bride walks down the aisle/ 1st look when they see each other for the 1st time. I live for those love stories and enjoy creatively bringing them to life.

I am delighted to be part of your Kenya Safari Wedding.

I will personally be there at every wedding.
