About Us
Daktari means ‘doctor’ in Swahili and we like to think ourselves as doctors of the garden. Daktari was also a family TV show in the late 1960s to 1970s featuring a veterinarian who ran an animal behavior study center in East Africa with rescued wild animals. I grew up loving this show and have had the business name for over 25 years.
Daktari Landscapes draws on a lifetime of working in the design industry and emersing myself in all things nature. My inspiration comes from nature. My observations come from nature. My design comes from nature.
I hope you enjoy nature as much as I do.
