Our Inspiration

Aatupai - the mythical guardian of the Savannah!

In the tales of Maasai folklore, unfolds the story of Aatupai, a brave and respected warrior, universally acknowledged as the guardian of the Savannah. Entrusted with the duty to protect the intricacies of the natural world, Aatupai displayed a profound connection with the fundamental elements – earth, fire, water, and wind. From sunrise to sunset, he stood sentinel beneath the acacia tree, his entire being in harmony with nature. Heightened senses attuned to the grassy expanse, the calls of nature, the vibrations of communication, and the cool, serpentine forces of the rivers. The venerable baobab trees, surrounded by majestic mountains, resonated with the purpose he embraced – the safeguarding of it all. Aatupai fearlessly repelled those who sought to harm Mother Nature. In return, nature unveiled her secrets and granted healing not only to him but also to his family for generations. 

This mythical account serves as our inspiration, underscoring the belief that each individual holds a responsibility to champion the preservation of Mother Nature. Mirroring Aatupai's healing, we assert that by advocating for and protecting Mother Nature, we ensure not only our own well-being but also that of generations yet to come.
