MEET THE OWNER
SUPAH! MY NAME IS JOSEPH MERIN
I was born in a small village in the Amboseli region of Kenya. My family is Maasai, and we have lived in this area for generations. As a child, I grew up herding cattle and learning about the Maasai way of life. I also attended school, where I learned about the outside world.When I was a teenager, I left my village and studied tourism at a school called Wildlife Clubs of Kenya. I knew that I wanted to share my culture with others, and I thought that tourism would be a good way to do that. I studied hard and eventually got a job as a tour guide.I loved my job, and I was good at it. I was able to show people from all over the world the beauty of Kenya and the Maasai way of life. I also learned a lot about traditional cultures fom all over Kenya and their ways of life.After a few years, I decided to start my own tour company. I wanted to give other traditional peoples the opportunity to share their cultures with the world. I also wanted to help my community by providing jobs and income.My company, Maasai Safari & Cultural Tours, has been very successful. I have been able to meet people from all over the world, and I have helped to improve the lives of people in my community. I am very proud of what I have accomplished, and I am excited to see what the future holds.I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story. I hope that it will inspire others to follow their dreams and to make a difference in the world.
