About us

We met in South Africa in 1996. From the very beginning we found that we wanted to live, work and experience life together. Not only live parallel lives. We found that we had similar dreams, goals and that we both were committed not only to make it work but to make the most of it, this adventure called life.
We worked in Africa and when we didn’t have groups to take care of, we travelled by ourselves. In 1997 we cycled to Rwanda to fullfil a dream – meeting the mountain gorillas of Virunga. It was a crazy and tough trip. We were happy to come home alive to be honest. That same summer we went to Tiveden on our bikes. It was like coming to paradise. One night we put up the tent by Stora Trehörningen. The lake was completely still, it felt as if you could reach out and touch the silence. Only the loon was calling.
It was one of those multidimensional experiences that we will keep in our hearts for ever. A magic moment – it felt so safe, so clean, so wild but still so welcoming. It was like coming home. And 5 years later Ösjönäs actually became ours, not only emotionally.
By then we had started Aktivera and we took our firstborn child, horses and some of our clients with us to Tiveden. Today both the family and the business have grown. / Klas & Jessica Sannö
