Bahori provides environmental solutions across the African Continent and was founded in 2014 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The word Bahori has its origins in modern day Iran (historically Persia). In the Farsi language of the time, the word Bahori was used by the ancient mariners, when referring to the horizon or something that is limitless in nature. Through trade between Asia, India, China, and the east coast of Africa the term Bahori found its way onto the East Coast of Africa and into Swahili dictionaries of old. Although Bahori has ancient roots, it is more relevant today and into the future than ever before.
Bahori, and environmental consulting company, draws inspiration from this ancient heritage, and firmly believes in championing contemporary environmental solutions that can shape a prosperous world for generations to come.
At the helm of Bahori is our founder, Hylton Allison, an environmental specialist with more than two decades of scientific, project management, and environmental consulting expertise. Under his guidance, Bahori has achieved a remarkable history of success throughout the African continent, thanks to a team of exceptionally skilled specialists.
We firmly believe that agility is paramount when addressing the diverse needs of our clients. Coupled with our swift response times, personalised client relationships, and a competitive cost structure, Bahori has solidified its reputation as a premier environmental consulting company.
