I am Lydia Cherotich, born in 1992 in the Great Rift Valley region of Bomet – home to world-renowned tea exporters. My passion started at an early age where we could always see different wildlife like the vervet monkeys, snakes (pythons) and leopards roaming our homes. I carried my passion through my lower and higher education with me and afterwards I enrolled in a journalism course at Maseno University but ended up dropping it after a full semester to pursue my passion for a career in Tourism and Wildlife Management at Maasai Mara University. Upon my graduation in 2013, I immediately enrolled for driving classes and did my Bronze level exams at KPSGA and my journey started in hospitality and tour guiding. My growth in the industry got me to management level where I was running various properties including Soroi Collection but my desire for being out in the nature and being a conservation ambassador made me opt out and choose to become a full-time safari guide – where my heart is. I believe learning never stops and I look forward to more of it as I create unforgettable memories with you.
