Kenyan-born and based in Nairobi, Africa has always been Pana’s greatest love. Her lifelong connection to the continent inspires every Ahnasa experience. With a profound appreciation for its wildlife, landscapes, and cultures, Pana channels her passion into crafting journeys that are both authentic and unforgettable. She co-founded Ahnasa with her daughter, Phera, to create experiences that feel effortless, immersive, and deeply personal.
At the heart of her vision lies a deep commitment to conservation and community — ensuring that every journey not only celebrates Africa’s beauty but also helps to preserve it for generations to come. Every itinerary reflects her belief that travel should be more than beautiful — it should be meaningful, transformative, and filled with wonder.
Raised amidst Kenya’s wildlife and wild places, Phera brings a fresh, creative lens to every Ahnasa journey. Her background in storytelling, photography, and visual design, combined with on-the-ground safari experience, allows her to craft itineraries that are immersive, visually compelling, and deeply meaningful. Some of her earliest memories are of safari drives, starlit campfires, and the quiet awe of being surrounded by nature — moments that continue to shape her vision today. For Phera, Ahnasa is more than a company; it’s a reflection of her belief in travel that is intentional, beautiful, and rooted in authentic connection.
Originally from Pittsburgh and now based in the U.S., Sara brings a unique blend of creativity, compassion, and logistical expertise to the Ahnasa team.

Sara plays a key role in supporting Ahnasa’s U.S.-based guests, helping to plan seamless, unforgettable journeys while offering dedicated, on-the-ground support every step of the way. Her thoughtful approach reflects Ahnasa’s commitment to meaningful, conservation-led travel that touches lives—both for our guests and the communities they visit.
