KPSGA Level: Silver Guide

David Parakuo was born and raised in Maasai land, renowned for its rich culture, exceptional flora and fauna.

Being raised with the wildlife while herding family cattle, I never thought it would be part of my career.

I got more interested and joined Nature Kenya and Nairobi National Museum to learn about trees and shrubs, bird counting and ringing, and to study birds’ migratory routes in places like Taita and Ngulia with the internationally renowned ornithologist Mrs Flor Ngweno.

I attended Dima College and attained a diploma in tour guiding and administration, along with certificates in foreign languages (Spanish, Japanese, French and Chinese) with satisfactory grades.

In 2010, I did filming of Maasai culture that was used to advertise the World Cup by Azteca Television, one of the biggest media houses in Mexico. In the same year, I attended the world tour forum as a translator in foreign languages.

I am a Silver guide medal holder and satisfied the examiners as one of the best.

With the vast experience in culture, flora and fauna, it is always my greatest passion to show, share and teach our esteemed guests all that Mother Nature has at her best.

Safari with Parakuo is a lifetime memory.
