About Us
In an era of overtourism, where large operators are taking over many of the smaller safari camps, Naibor is proud to remain independently owned and run. We stay true to the original spirit of safari—authentic, intimate, and connected to nature—while offering the modern comforts and thoughtful touches that make your stay both memorable and relaxing.
Naibor Camps was established in 2005, originally designed by renowned lodge and camp designer Anthony Russell. Today, it is proudly owned by Nigel Archer, Satyan Patel, and William and Lisa Sykes.
Our dedicated team—chefs, guides, front and back-of-house staff, and managers—brings warmth, professionalism, and a shared passion for hospitality. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from around the world who value authentic safari experiences.
We are also deeply connected to the local Maasai communities, with many of our team members coming from nearby towns and villages. They bring not only a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also a strong commitment to preserving and protecting the people, wildlife, and landscapes that make this place so special.
Luca Hutchison
Manager
Born and raised in Kenya, Luca developed a deep love for nature and the African bush from an early age. Surrounded by wildlife growing up, it was always clear that he’d find his way back to the land that shaped him.
After studying hotel management in the Netherlands, Luca pursued his passion for guiding in Botswana, where he became a certified Lead Walking and Trails Safari Guide, as well as a FGASA NQF2-qualified guide. Most recently, he’s worked with film crews documenting Africa’s iconic big cats.
Luca joined the Naibor family in early 2025, returning home to combine his management and guiding expertise with his lifelong connection to the Kenyan wilderness.
Kolian (Duncan) Ole Kerokor
Head Guide
Known affectionately around camp as "The Soldier", Duncan is our head guide and a certified Silver-level guide. He’s been part of the Naibor team for three years and is a firm favourite with guests—not just for his sharp sense of humour, but also for his uncanny ability to find big cats, earning him the nickname “the big cat whisperer.”
Before joining Naibor, Duncan spent four years working as a ranger, driven by a deep commitment to conservation and wildlife protection. His passion for the bush, paired with his guiding expertise, makes every outing with him a memorable one.
Wilson Cheruiyot
Head Chef
Like any great head chef, Wilson brings deep passion and creativity to the kitchen. He studied at Utalii College in Nairobi, then went on to refine his skills in hotels and camps across Kenya before joining Naibor in 2010. Since then, he has worked his way up to become our brilliant head chef.
Wilson’s love for cooking began at a young age. For him, every dish is an opportunity to tell a story and express artistry—no matter the cuisine. His dedication, experience, and thoughtful approach to food make each meal at Naibor something to look forward to.
Sebastian Murindiro
Head of Mess
Cheers to Superstar Seba! Sebastian, our lively and ever-charismatic Head of Mess and Dining, is known around camp for his quick wit, big smile, and passionate attention to guest experience. He brings warmth, humour, and a personal touch to every meal, always going the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at home.
Seba also has a growing passion for mixology—curating a selection of cocktails and mocktails of the day that add a little extra sparkle to your stay.
Leonard Shutu
Head Room Steward
Leonard, our cheerful and ever-smiling Head of Housekeeping, has been a beloved part of the Naibor family since 2006. Known for his friendly nature and love of conversation, Leonard enjoys connecting with guests from all walks of life and making sure they feel genuinely cared for throughout their stay.
Whether it’s a 4am wake-up call before a balloon safari or a cup of tea delivered to your tent late at night, Leonard is always ready with a smile—and usually a good joke too. His warmth and dedication are part of what makes Naibor feel like home.
Daniel Kombo Dadi
Head of Wilderness Camp
Daniel, fondly known as “Kombination,” has been with Naibor since the very beginning in 2006. He started out in the housekeeping department and, over the years, worked his way up to become the Head of Naibor Wilderness.
With his sharp eye for detail, calm presence, and can-do attitude, Daniel ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. He’s known not just for his reliability, but also for being an all-around great guy—someone both guests and team members love having around.
Fredrick Miinta
Head of Security
Fredrick has been with Naibor for the past 3 years as our Head of Security. Known for his warm smile, gentle manner, and calm approach in any situation, Fredrick brings a reassuring presence to camp.
He enjoys sharing Maasai stories with our guests, especially children, and takes pride in telling them about his own journey to becoming a Maasai Warrior.
Lilian Kamuyu
Spa Therapist
Lilian, our skilled and self-motivated spa therapist and beautician, brings over a decade of experience to the Naibor team. Before joining us in 2019, she honed her craft in several of Kenya’s top five-star hotels, developing a strong and intuitive approach to wellness.
Whether you’re feeling a little stiff after a long flight or simply looking to unwind after a day on safari, Lilian is here to help you relax and recharge—with care, expertise, and a calming presence
Florence Moriaso
Guide
“Go with the Flo” — a phrase coined by one of our guests — perfectly captures Florence’s smooth driving skills and easygoing charm. As one of our passionate guides, Florence brings both warmth and knowledge to every game drive.
She earned her guiding certification at the Nashulai Conservancy and is currently pursuing a degree in Hospitality and Tourism, blending her love for wildlife with a strong interest in guest experience. Her drives are relaxed and graceful, much like Flo herself, and always filled with bright smiles and genuine enthusiasm.
