Mark, You unified our group in a way that I never expected. I believe we got along with each other as well as we did because of your leadership. That everything fell in place as schedule was part of the success of our trip, but even more important, I think, was that you took firm control of the reins and never let them go! And you were in the least offensive in doing so. Just as much, we appreciated your and Martin’s fantastic knowledge of the animals, their habits and the terrain. When I add to the above the wonderful food and accommodations that Key & Downey lined up, and the staff, particularly Lekuk and Lamebt (sp), we couldn’t have asked for more. I will cherish my memories of Africa. Thank you!!
Dear Mark, Thank you for all the great memories during our safari! Thanks for pushing us out of our comfort zone and for your endless knowledge of the plants, animals and animal sounds. Thanks for all you have done to make our safari the trip of a lifetime. You and Bill and the team have done a fantastic job on all levels. We have all enjoyed your company and are sad to see the journey come to an end. Hopefully soon our family will be one of your repeat customers. Thanks again,

Mark Barrah was born in Kenya in 1963. His father, Jack Barrah served for 40 years in the Kenyan Wildlife Service (KWS). Mark has been fortunate to travel all over Kenya and has amassed a unique database of interactions with some of Kenya's least known tribes thanks to his access to the most remote parts of the country. Mark was educated in Kenya and the UK. He then served 10 years in the British army. During this time, Mark dedicated his spare time to further conservation and anti-poaching efforts in Kenya. Mark returned to Kenya in 1992. In 1999, Mark was made an Honorary Warden of the KWS in which capacity he assists in training, community outreach procedures and animal control issues especially where rogue animals and human boundaries conflict. Mark has participated on several government committees including those that control various licensing procedures. Mark’s lifetime of on-the-ground experience of the people and environment of Kenya and the East African region combined with the discipline of a military, public and private-sector career result in a unique skill-set that marries risk identification, mitigation and stakeholder liaison. Mark is a fluent Swahili speaker, resident in Nairobi.
