The Oluokos Family

Our family’s past and present foundation is deeply rooted in Africa’s wildlife, communities and travel. To the Oluokos, Africa’s diverse beauty only complements our passion for nature. Ouma Oluoko discovered his passion for Kenya’s wonders while working for the UK based overland companies and this introduced him to multiple countries in east Africa.

Christine on the other hand fell in love with Africa’s charm when she met Ouma Oluoko who introduced her to a series of destinations and attractions while on safari. Apart from her love for the elephants, Christine also cherishes the sweet taste of local and international cuisine, especially the Ugandan food. Christine’s knowledge goes deeper, from the hot air balloon in the Maasai Mara, to going on a night game drive and also, braving the rough waters of Lake Victoria in Uganda while going to spot the Shoebill at the Mabamba Wetlands! In the early 1990s, Iris joined Jordan in managing the company. Together, our vast knowledge and shared passion at Oluokos weaves some of the swankiest and impactful Africa safari luxury itineraries.

We have nurtured Oluokos Signature with integrity and care and built a business that reflects our deep passion for the planet and its people. Our daughters and sons – known as “The Oluokos Kids”, each bring their unique experiences to the family business. Alain, at his tender age is more keen on itineraries and ICT and many times checks on if our website is doing okay in terms of completion. Enrique, an avid aspiring young birder with a dedication to wildlife protection, captures the beauty of Kenya while advocating for its preservation that must include both flora and fauna. Ivy’s focus and work relations shines through with constant reminders of what should have been put to place at the right time. While the youngest, Taya, followed his father’s example in the strictness of time keeping and implementation, continuing the Oluokos family’s tradition of unlimited potentials.
