Nikita was born and brought up in Nairobi where she completed her Primary and Secondary education. From there she travelled to London to study accounting at London School of Business and Finance. As soon as she graduated, Nikita came back home to Kenya, the country she loves. The next six years saw Nikita working in various accounting roles in Nairobi and marrying the love of her life, Parag.

Nikita was a regular guest at Secluded Africa’s lodges and she became enthused by the vision of the company and the work being done protecting the wildlife and looking after the communities. She left her accounting jobs in Nairobi and decided to follow her passion and joined the Secluded Africa family in 2018. Her knowledge of accounting and controls has made her an invaluable member of the management team.

Nikita has a natural, easy-going and caring nature that makes her the perfect host. Her passion for the wildlife and the communities we look after, is very apparent as she runs the operations of the Trust.
