Sam & Flick

Sam was born and brought up in Thika on a coffee plantation just north of Nairobi. Having schooled in Nairobi and the UK, Sam went to New Zealand where he obtained degrees in Zoology and Marketing in between fly fishing and playing rugby. He met Flick over there who was also doing a degree in marketing and food science.

Flick's passion for making food and Sam's passion for eating it made a perfect mix. Flick decided to return to Kenya with Sam after their studies, where they ran tented camps and lodges in the Masai Mara and Meru National Park - a far cry from Flick's family sheep station in Canterbury!

They joined Laragai as managers in January 2009. Sam is a FGASA and KPSGA qualified guide and FGASA trails guide - having trained in the Makuleke on the Limpopo Mozambique/Zimbabwe border in South Africa.
