Laba Laba means butterfly in Yoruba. And the butterfly plays an important role in nature by helping to increase biodiversity. When you see one, it generally means the area is healthy, with little to no pollution present.
This beautiful winged insect felt like the appropriate symbol to illustrate both our mission and purpose. We want to share spectacular locations of unspoilt nature with you. We make luxury feel effortless, yet accessible, whilst placing a strong accent on enjoying the simple pleasures. Today, East Africa, tomorrow, further afield.
It is important to acknowledge the pioneers of history who made it possible for us to share the unforgettable experience of an African safari. We thank the individuals who had the foresight to create national parks and game reserves at the end of the 19th century. Without them, many native species of fauna and flora would have disappeared, in part due to poaching.
At Laba Laba, we love these nature reserves. We respect the African landscape and fauna. We are inspired by the energy of the land, which takes us back to our origins. Our deep understanding and admiration allows us to offer a tailor-made superior safari experience!,
The African safari experience has evolved significantly in recent years, even more since the end of the global pandemic, driven by a human desire to return to authenticity.
“I aim to eat well with a diet that is rich in healthy and organic food. It is unthinkable to serve guests food that I would not want to consume myself. Furthermore, our unique selling point is an untainted natural setting. So, it is out of the question that we contribute to destructive farming methods, which have devastating consequences for the land and natural environment." Xavier Marie, owner of Laba Laba .
