About Kujali
Kujali — “to care” in Swahili — is both our name and our promise. It shapes the way we design journeys, connect with our guests, and honor the places we travel. Our retreats are built on the belief that true luxury is not measured by what you have, but by how deeply you are cared for. Every journey is crafted with that philosophy at its heart: seamless travel, world-class hospitality, and authentic connections that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
A Note from Our Founder
My own journey began as a biology teacher, sharing my love of the natural world with my students. That passion extended beyond the classroom, as I began designing and coordinating student travel experiences to Kenya. What started in education grew into curating yoga and wellness retreats — and ultimately evolved into Kujali.
I fell in love with Africa not only for its landscapes and wildlife, but for the warmth of its people and the depth of connection I feel when there. It is that spirit of care — for nature, for culture, and for each guest — that guides everything we do.
With care,
Kerry Napoleon
