Jackson Looseyia
"I was born in the Maasai Mara sometime in 1967 and went to school in the Mara. I joined Rekero 1985 as an askari when Ron and Pauline were farming at Olaingabori. Then Ron and Pauline started Tourism in 1987 and I was taken in as a junior tracker after following my late Papa who was the chief tracker. I then progressed to be the first Maasai guide in the Mara after Ron and Pauline identified my talent for guiding. Then they sent me to South Africa for a guiding course. I then guided for 15 years. Our former leader Ron kindly offered us company shares in 1996 with Gerard and then we became business partners and are now the leaders of Rekero camp Ltd and a few other operations i.e. rekero community conservation trust among others. My main talent is guiding and it will always be guiding for the rest of my life, I believe strongly in passing knowledge on to others. I am interested in stars and I have tought myself what I know so far, with the help of some kind guests who gave me an astronomy book and telescope. I am married to Ann and we are blessed with Four children all working hard at school in Narok and in Nakuru. They may have an interest in tourism but we can never predict we just hope like any other parent.
That all for now from Jackson Looseyia"
