To Vacation is to refresh. To Likizo is to Live.

At Likizo, travel is an enriching journey, not just a vacation. Our founder, Sabrina Stedman, has crafted our vision with impeccable attention to detail and a love for exploration. The spirit of Likizo is rooted in a remarkable legacy of wanderlust.

Founder Sabrina Stedman

Sabrina’s passion for travel started when she was young, inspired by her parents’ adventures. Following in their footsteps, she inherited a deep-seated appetite for immersive exploration. Her late father, William Stedman, was a pilot for 45 years and etched his name in history as the first man to fly a glider from Europe to Africa. Her mother, yachting journalist Jill Bobrow, started taking Sabrina on luxury yacht charter destination trips at a very early age, and those adventures continued throughout her evolution as a young adult.

These trips, complete with impeccable service and curated itineraries, ingrained in her the significance of how meticulous planning elevates any vacation experience.  Sabrina’s early travels expanded her horizons and ignited her curiosity for the world's kaleidoscope of experiences. Her interest blossomed into a profession.

 Having worked for a full-service concierge company in travel design and, most recently, with a global yacht brokerage company, the concept for Likizo was born—a name meaning "vacation" in Swahili—paying homage to Tanzania and her father's legacy.
