The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is proposing to make an equity investment of $10 million (Sh1.29 billion) in Safari Holdings, the parent firm of ARP Africa Travel, Pollman’s Tours & Safaris, and Tanzanian tour company Ranger Safaris.

In a disclosure published on Wednesday, IFC – a member of the World Bank Group – said it would be making the investment alongside a Mauritian firm known as Alterra Africa Accelerator Fund, which will also manage the co-investment.
