Baumann luxury safaris was established in August 2023 by Shamim Jelagat Baumann, a mother whose deep-rooted love for Kenya and its unique wildlife ignited a passion for sharing these extraordinary experiences with others. Her journey began with a profound connection to Kenya , inherited from her grandparents. Her grandmother a beautiful Kenyan woman from the Kalenjin tribe and her grandfather, who moved to Kenya from Scotland as a young boy with his parents and siblings as his parents were missionaries.
Her grandparents union fostered a cultural fusion and a lifelong appreciation for the country`s natural beauty.
Her sons, Pete and Ralph have inherited their mother`s enthusiasm for Kenya´s nature and love for wildlife, ensuring that the legacy of Baumann luxury safaris continues for generations to come.
My son`s are so proud of their African heritage, although we live in Switzerland, Kenya will always be their home
