Guiding in the Mara since 2007, Derrick is driven by a deep respect for wildlife and a desire to protect what’s disappearing. Growing up surrounded by traditions that once harmed the natural world, he now dedicates his life to preserving it — especially for the cheetahs who cannot speak for themselves.
'I always tell guests that I’m employed by the wild animals,' he says.
For him, guiding isn’t just a job — it’s a mission.
