Africa Travel Week

Connecting Entrepreneurs and Promoting Inclusive Travel

Njeri Gachuhi, founder of The Traveling Wakili, attended WTM Africa 2024, where she shared her inspiring journey of creating safe and inclusive travel experiences for women and queer travelers in Kenya and the broader East African region.

Njeri discusses the importance of connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, exchanging valuable knowledge, and the unique opportunities that WTM Africa offers to those in the travel industry.

As someone who understands the challenges and isolation that often come with entrepreneurship, Njeri emphasizes how events like WTM Africa are crucial for building networks, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation.

She highlights the impact of the Equal Africa programme, which focuses on making travel more inclusive and supporting the LGBTQ community. Through her experience, Njeri demonstrates how meaningful connections can lead to significant growth and success.
