Authentic Safaris with Leonista Agave Spirit

At Wild Expressions, we believe in the power of connection – not just with nature, but with the local communities that make our safaris truly special. Our South African photo tours and safaris are designed to immerse you in the breathtaking beauty of Africa while supporting local industries, ensuring that every aspect of your journey is authentically South African.

Recently, we had the pleasure of discovering a remarkable South African product that perfectly complements our ethos: Leonista, the first 100% Karoo agave spirit. This unique spirit is crafted in the traditional Mexican way, following a process that has been perfected over generations. What makes Leonista truly special is that it brings the rich, smoky flavor of Mezcal to South African soil, using agave plants that have thrived in the Karoo for hundreds of years.

The Story Behind Leonista: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

The journey of Leonista began when Sarah Kennan, the co-owner and founder, embarked on a research trip to Mexico. There, she learned the intricate process of making agave spirits from maestro distillers. Captivated by the energy-boosting qualities and the distinct, smoky flavor of 100% agave spirits, Sarah set out to bring this experience to South Africa. Since the spirit is produced outside of Mexico, it cannot be labeled as Mezcal or Tequila. However, it embodies the same rich heritage, crafted with Karoo agave.

The result is a spirit that is not only delicious but also embodies the energy and soul of the African landscape. Leonista is more than just a drink; it’s a celebration of tradition, innovation, and the land from which it comes.
