Ping is an extraordinary guide, named one of Conde Nast’s Best 25 Safari Guides for all of Africa. He possesses an uncanny ability to predict animal behavior, making him legendary for being in perfect position during action events.

Ping is a Maasai, and time spent with him is excellent for cultural learning. As a boy Ping was always interested in the wildlife and environment around him. His early days included a long stint guiding for CC Africa, which had an outstanding training program including time spent in South Africa and under the tutelage of Kenyan legend Paul Kirui.

Ping was recruited to help Disney create and open their Animal Kingdom Park in Florida. This allowed Ping to experience living in America and increase his knowledge of cultures from around the world, which he credits to making him a better guide.

Ping’s reputation took off as he became the head guide at Mara Plains Camp and Mara Plains became widely recognized as the top safari camp experience in Kenya.

In 2015 Ping decided to pursue his dreams to be an entrepreneurial freelance guide, partnering with The Wild Source in the formation of the Lalashe Guide Co-Op.
