Our company was established in 1990 by our founder Mark Savage. Mark was a bush pilot at the time and flew his plane up the Athi River. He spotted what looked like fantastic rafting. A year later he purchased his first raft and paddles.

The operation moved up to Sagana and the Tana river, where it has grown and grown. James Savage, Marks’s son, now runs the company and it has grown into Kenya’s top outdoor adventure provider, facilitating adventure trips to all ends of Kenya.
