A long-time friend of John’s and lucky enough to have ridden with him many times, Mounia fell in love with the magic of his safaris — and knew more people had to experience it. Today, she supports Ekalale Riding Safari and Tours by managing the website and social media, helping to share John’s vision and connect travelers from around the world with the wild heart of Kenya.
