International Women's Day: March 8th 2021
“Celebrating women’s achievements and increasing visibility,
while calling out inequality”
Pana and Phera – Mother and Daughter – We are Ahnasa Destinations. A bespoke travel specialist company based in Nairobi, Kenya.
Ahnasa Destinations came into existence as a result of our love of travel, nature, wildlife and conservation. We are blessed to be in one of the most beautiful places on earth! What started as a hobby, planning and organising travel for family and friends has now grown into a fully-fledged company. We organise bespoke safaris which include life-enriching experiences and stunning properties to some of the most amazing destinations in Africa. At the heart of our business ethos is to make a positive impact for conservation. Protecting our natural heritage – the unique wildlife, culture and stunning environment.
From the feedback we have received, our guests love to see our roles as a mother and daughter team. We genuinely believe women are the best at making a place feel warmer, and that’s what we do. Travel has become more about adventure, fulfilment, life-enriching experiences, cultural interactions and education. We carefully curate new experiences and new destinations to provide unforgettable experiences.
We love to chat with our guests, get to know them and learn about their travel goals. We then curate the perfect itinerary tailored to their preferences. And the reason why we do what we do – when guests tell us what an amazing time they have had and the positive impact their safari has made to their lives.
We look forward to hosting you on your next safari.

"Amazing life changing journeys! I can't tell you how wonderful all of my safaris have been, Ahnasa Destinations is amazing at this! The places we went and stayed, the things I have seen, nothing can top this. I tell everyone they must do this at least once in their life. Me?

Supporting an Incredible Lady Dedicated to Wildlife and Empowering Rangers
“The animals are our heritage, our culture. If we lose these animals, we are pretty much signing our own death warrant.”
There is no doubt that Raabia feels the sense of responsibility deeply as she works day in and day out fighting to save the wildlife of Kenya. Her entire life revolves around conservation and anti-poaching initiatives. Raabia is an Honorary Warden with the Kenya Wildlife Service and also the Executive Director of Ulinzi Africa Foundation, an organisation she launched in 2014 as East Africa’s first non-profit that focuses on game ranger welfare, empowerment and facilitation with an aim to foster better community stewardship of wildlife and enhance anti-poaching efforts.
Ahnasa Destinations is proud to support this incredible lady, her conservation efforts and her foundation.

Celebrating Najin and Fatu
The Last 2 Remaining Northern White Rhinos
Najin and Fatu – Mother and Daughter – are the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos on Earth. These two special females are the last of their species, living at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. They are protected round-the-clock by armed guards from poachers. They are both infertile so cannot mate. The ‘Frame It Or Wear It’ team were very lucky to meet Najin & Fatu when we travelled to Ol Pejeta Conservancy to see these magnificent and sadly, the last northern white rhinos. We were overwhelmed with love and sadness and felt so honoured to be in their presence as they quietly went about munching on the grass. It was incredibly emotional!
And Last, But Definitely not least...
The man in Stone Town, Zanzibar who was man enough ... 😂
