While working as camp staff at Thomson’s Nyumba camps, Joseph developed a deep connection to the natural world. Surrounded by the wilderness each day, he was inspired to become a guide — an opportunity that now allows him to share his extensive knowledge of wildlife and ecology with guests.  

When he’s not guiding, he’s staying active, watching documentaries, or cheering for Arsenal.  

“Joseph was absolutely phenomenal—knowledgeable, passionate, and with an incredible eye for spotting wildlife we never would have seen on our own. His energy and storytelling made the entire safari unforgettable—we’re already planning our next trip with friends and wouldn’t dream of going without him!” – John C, Boston MA
