Meet Anne
Meet Dennis (Shinka)

Jambo! I’m Anne, a passionate explorer of nature and culture! I believe it’s the little moments in life that truly make a difference. My journey began with studying eco and wildlife in Velp, Netherlands, followed by delving into African languages and cultures at Leiden University. I’ve been fortunate to travel across the globe— from the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand and Australia to the vibrant cultures of South Africa, Europe, and beyond. During one of my adventures, I earned my official guiding certificate in South Africa (FGASA Level 1), which has deepened my understanding of nature and the incredible wildlife that calls Africa home. As a co-owner and co-host of Oseki Maasai Mara Camp, I’m thrilled to be involved in designing the camp and managing bookings, sales, and marketing. Explore our array of unique experiences tailored for your next journey to the Maasai Mara. We can’t wait to welcome you and share the magic of the Mara! Come and create unforgettable memories with us!

Supa! I’m Dennis Shinka Parmuat, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey with you. I was born in Nkineji village, nestled near Sekenani town, just a stone’s throw from the breathtaking Maasai Mara—one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Growing up in this stunning landscape, I developed a profound connection to the land and its wildlife, which has shaped my life and career. With ten+ years of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the best in the field. Now, I’m excited to take the next step in my journey by starting my very own camp right in the heart of the Mara. It’s a dream come true, combining my love for the bush with my desire to provide unforgettable experiences for visitors. As a proud Maasai warrior, I carry the rich traditions and knowledge of my culture with me. I’ve spent my entire life living in the jungle and the bush, learning the secrets of the land. This deep-rooted experience has made me a skilled tracker and guide, with an innate ability to read the signs of nature. The bush isn’t just my workplace; it’s my home, my passion, and my greatest inspiration. I thrive on sharing the magic of Kenya’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage with my guests. Whether it’s embarking on thrilling game drives, taking serene walks through the wilderness, or participating in unique cultural experiences, I am always eager to go the extra mile to ensure your journey is nothing short of extraordinary. I believe that every guest deserves a personalized adventure that resonates with their spirit of exploration. At my camp, you’ll find a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can connect with nature and the Maasai culture. I’m excited to share stories, insights, and the incredible wildlife that makes the Maasai Mara so special. Together, we’ll explore the vast savannahs, witness breathtaking sunsets, and maybe even spot the iconic Big Five! So come join me on this adventure, and let’s explore the wonders of the Maasai Mara together. I can’t wait to share my passion for this incredible landscape and create unforgettable memories with you
