“A journey to African destinations can never leave you unchanged. Imagine unraveling it as a piece of art. At first, the piece of art gently coaxes you into the brightness of this region of boundless beauty; its composition starts as a tickle, then quickly overtakes your imagination. You become enveloped by its spell, and your curiosity is engaged.
What you perceive as a typical destination is more than words can justify, and to put it, even slightly, into describable terms, it is magical, a land of constantly changing beauty. Beyond the piece of art you imagine it to be, it is the very region where old explorers were shaped, as it evoked their spirits, whetted their curiosities, and inspired their discoveries.”_ Alpha Harrison
About the Founder,
Alpha Harrison was born in Kenya, where the wild landscapes sparked his lifelong passion for safaris. He discovered this passion early while attending St. Paul’s Ol-Jororok in Nyandarua County, overlooking the serene Lake Ol Bolossat. Through school-organized trips, made possible by the unwavering support of his father, Julius Mwangi, he took his first steps into a life defined by adventure, exploration, and the raw beauty of Africa.
He earned a diploma in Tourism and Travel Management from Kenya Utalii College and went on to broaden his global perspective with a Bachelor of Arts in Tourism Management from the University of Nevada. These experiences shaped his approach to travel, blending authentic local insight with international standards.
As a professional Tour Manager, Alpha specializes in crafting exceptional safari experiences tailored to each traveler. He doesn’t just plan trips, he creates journeys that inspire, enrich, and leave lasting memories. He believes in exploring the world in unique and meaningful ways and is passionate about sharing his knowledge and love for travel with every guest he guides.
Africa, to Alpha, is a mosaic of wild beauty, ancient history, and vibrant cultures. He believes that love for the continent is not something one simply finds, but something you are drawn into with every step and every story shared. His deep, personal knowledge of Africa allows him to offer clients unparalleled access to the people, places, and experiences he has come to know and cherish throughout his life.
Driven by a profound love for wildlife, people, and the spirit of adventure, Alpha’s commitment goes far beyond guiding safaris. He is dedicated to creating meaningful journeys that positively impact both the communities and environments his guests encounter.
He has devoted his life to crafting unforgettable travel experiences, from ready-made packages to fully tailored safari itineraries. To him, travel is more than movement across destinations; it is transformation. It opens doors to new cultures, histories, and perspectives, while revealing parts of ourselves we never knew existed.
To Alpha, Africa is like a book, and those who don’t travel the JABARI way only read the cover
