Originally from Kenya and now based in Houston, TX, Khadija (you can call her Pipi) Tayabali brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to curating luxury African travel experiences.
After completing her medical training at the University of Nairobi, Khadija relocated to the United States where she currently works as an Infectious Disease Physician. Her professional path has taken her across continents, but her love for Africa (its landscapes and the people) remains at the heart of her work.
Experience
Inspired by a lifelong passion for travel and a deep love for planning unique getaways for friends and family, Khadija eventually decided to pursue a career in travel consulting. Her goal has always been to share the Africa she knows and loves—authentic, warm, and full of hidden gems, with those seeking truly meaningful journeys.
Travel Expertise
She channels her expertise into creating bespoke African itineraries for discerning travelers: Whether it’s a luxury safari through the Maasai Mara, a serene beach retreat in Zanzibar, or a cultural immersion in Cape Town, each experience is not only elevated in comfort but rich in authenticity and local connection. With her, your trip will feel both exclusive and deeply personal.
Khadija’s dual perspective—both as a native of Kenya and a longtime U.S. resident enables her to bridge the gap many North American travelers face: the desire for a meaningful African adventure, but uncertainty about where to begin. She offers tailored support every step of the way, combining the logistical precision of a seasoned consultant with the warmth of someone who calls Africa home.
