Jonathan Leakey Ltd. is a leading supplier of natural plant and animal resources from East Africa to healthcare manufacturers, pharmaceutical producers, herbal food and medicinal industries, and laboratory and university research facilities around the world.
Supply of snake venom, export of wild harvested organic tropical medicinal and human food plant raw materials (bark, roots, leaves, flowers, seeds), and organic Tilapia nilotica fish farming comprise the company’s operations.
Situated on the shore of Lake Baringo, 200 miles north of Nairobi, Kenya, Jonathan Leakey Ltd. has access to a wide range of tropical specie populations. Kenya's Baringo District is home to many of East Africa’s most venomous snakes, including black and green mambas, spitting cobras, and puff adders. Jonathan Leakey, company director, is an internationally recognized herpetologist and specialist in East African venomous snakes.
The area's central location gives easy access to a wide range of tropical plant populations of current interest in herbal food and medicinal research. For nearly 20 years, the company has organized and supervised ecologically appropriate wild harvests in Kenya. The semi-arid ecology of the area ensures rapid sun drying for highest quality production of dried plant materials for the first stages of pharmaceutical and herbal production.
Indigeous home to Tilapia nilotica, Lake Baringo's shores offer an ideal situation for aquaculture. A wholly organic system recycles water from the lake without harming local ecology, as tilapia farmed in tanks breed and grow to maturity in a safe environment.
Founded in 1963, Jonathan Leakey Ltd. has a long history of successful business dealings in the global marketplace, and an established reputation for sensitivity to the environment as well as the importance of high standards of production. |
