Experience & Qualifications: SILVER Guide (KPSGA)

Letter from David:

I was born on 07th November 1976 in Nakuru, near the Mau Forest, famous for the source of the Mara River. I am Kikuyu by tribe, the biggest ethnic group in Kenya. I am a Christian by religion & married with three children. I attended Egerton Primary School from 1983 to 1991, then St. Xaviers High School from 1992 to 1995. Having always been interested in wildlife, I joined wildlife Clubs of Kenya whilst in school to learn about wildlife conservation since we were near Mau Forest and Lake Nakuru National Park.

After finishing my education, I joined D. T. Dobie Mercedes Benz Technical Training College from 1998 to 2000 after which I started working with Sunworld Safaris in 2001 as a workshop technician. Working in a safari company revitalized my wildlife interest which I had since childhood and in 2002, I started learning how to guide clients. In November 2003, I attained the bronze level, certified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guide Association (KPSGA) and went on further to attain my silver level in November 2006. Being a member of Nature Kenya I have learnt a lot about birds, guiding and importance of conservation. My regular participation in refresher courses organized by Utalii College has significantly improved my knowledge of Wildlife and Guiding. A part from being fluent in English language, I have also started learning the German Language & will be pleased to try my knowledge with our German speaking clients.

Hobbies:
My hobbies are traveling, bird watching, meeting new people from all over the world and enjoying every bit of my safaris! I look forward to taking you on safari !
