Many people have asked me - why is Serengeti Ventures named so. This takes me back to June 2011. I was fulfilling a lifelong dream to go on Safari in Africa. We had just entered the great Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. We climbed a hillock at the Nabi Gate checkpoint, and stood in the morning breeze, looking out over the endless land and limitless sky. We could see herds of elephant and flocks of ostriches, groups of wildebeest and flashes of zebras and giraffe. It was a moment of pure wonder at the limitless possibilities that nature had given all creatures.
Somewhere in my head, two ideas coalesced. My 20 years in Banking and Insurance had showed me the endless possibilities in business. I had seen that the difference between a great idea and actual success lies in seeing possibilities, and then relentlessly executing to convert them into real results. The word ‘Serengeti’ means ‘endless’. That’s what my business would do - find those endless possibilities, and turn them into real results for my clients. Over the next 2 weeks on Safari, my business plan grew from sketches on napkins to detailed flows on notebooks. By the end of the holiday, my business idea had taken found its name and mission - Serengeti Ventures.
Endless Possibilities, Real Results.
