Curating Luxury African Safaris with Heart, Expertise & Local Insight
Khadija Tayabali
Founder & Visionary
Hi, I’m Khadija but everyone knows me as Pipi
I was born and raised in Kenya, surrounded by landscapes, wildlife, and communities that most people only encounter through photographs. I moved to the United States in 2012 and now have built my life and career here in Houston TX.
Living in both worlds gave me clarity to understand Africa from a different perspective through the questions and uncertainties of travelers planning from far away
TourWithPipi was thus born from a personal mission to make Africa feel approachable without losing its magic, and luxurious without feeling inaccessible.Not through rushed itineraries or generic routes, but through journeys that feel personal, well-paced, and deeply connected to place.
Every experience we design reflects a simple belief:
Luxury travel should feel effortless, meaningful, and quietly exceptional.
It would be an honor to plan your next luxury trip to Africa the #tourwithpipi way

From smooth transportation and handpicked accommodations to the meals that fuel your climb, I make sure everything is seamless, so you can focus on the adventure.
Our trusted team of local guides and porters share their deep knowledge, culture, and passion for these iconic mountains, offering you not just support, but a heartfelt connection to the land with every step.
