Our guides

Our expert guides studied at Utalii College, a government-owned hotel and tourism training institution in Nairobi.

Sammy Mwagodi
Age: 44
Email: samwagodi@yahoo.com
Sammy comes from Kenya’s Coastal Province, and is a member of the Taita tribe. His mother language is Ketaita (or ‘Kidawida’), but he also speaks Swahili and English fluently. He currently lives in Nairobi with his wife, two boys (17 and 10) and daughter (19). Sammy’s expert knowledge (and great sense of humour!) have been honed during his 18 years working as a guide.
 
David Agisu
Age: 34
Email: davieagisu@yahoo.com
David hails from Nyanza Province near Lake Victoria, which is also the ancestral home of the Obama family (!) He is a member of the Luhya tribe, though his mother comes from the neighbouring Luo, but like Sammy also speaks Swahili and English fluently. David is married with two children; a boy (7) and girl (4). He is an avid football fan and supports Arsenal in England and the AFC Leopards in Kenya (in 2009 the team won the Kenya Cup). David has been a guide for 10 years. He never seemed to stop smiling, no matter what!

Jacob Ojoo

Jacob was our WildTrek liason in Nairobi, meeting us on arrival and also spending the last day with us. Like David, Jacob hails from Nyanza Province and lives in Nairobi. He’s not yet married, and has been a hospitality & travel consultant since 2006.
