KPSGA Level:Bronze Guide
Certificate/Specialty:Ornithology, Flora and fauna and Photographic guide
I am Maasai, born in Narok County. My interest in wildlife began when I was 19, I was lucky to be taken on a safari (my first) to the Mara Game Reserve by a Catholic Missionary. It was the most fascinating experience I had ever had and I fell in love with nature!
My parents wished for a different career for me, in the Banking Industry. However, I was ready to drop everything and pursue safari guiding with whatever it took! It took me a couple of days to convince my father to sell some cows to raise my college fee. Immediately the funds were available, I joined the Kenya Hotel Institute in Nakuru for my Tour Guiding and Administration course. I then did a two-year course for further Training in Ornithology. To widen my knowledge, I decided to join a prominent Camp in Maasai Mara as a Naturalist / Driver / guide. My job was to conduct nature walks, lectures, slideshows and game drives. I also worked as an Assistant Naturalist / Driver guide for 3 years. Working with Sunworld Safaris has been an opportunity for me to get to know all of Kenya’s fantastic National Parks and Game Reserves’
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you on Safari, Karibu!
