About Me
I am a versatile safari guide and wildlife photographer with a deep passion for telling the story of the African wilderness. Over the years, I’ve refined my guiding expertise across some of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes, combining strong field knowledge with an instinct for anticipating behaviour, light, and movement in real time. My photography is shaped by patience, intuition, and a genuine respect for wildlife; skills that also fuel my approach to guiding. I love helping guests experience the bush in a way that feels personal, immersive, and unforgettable. Whether I’m teaching photography in the field, creating special guest moments, or leading a game drive with precision and calm, I pride myself on being adaptable, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every safari meaningful.

Rio is an exceptional guide and photographer whose journey began as a ranger, rooted in a deep care for the natural world. Through years of working closely with wildlife, especially rhinos, he developed a powerful, authentic approach to storytelling shaped by patience, respect, and understanding. Since moving to the Mara, he has continued to refine his guiding skills while sharing the ecosystem’s stories with intention and calm presence. One of his greatest teachings is to approach wildlife not with fear or dominance, but as respectful visitors sharing their space — an outlook that fosters harmony and deeper connection with nature.
