There is a place in East Africa where the tarmac ends and if you continue for another 25 kilometers, there you will find a lone acacia tree tossed about by the winds as they rush across the open plains. It is something of an icon in East Africa, but it hasn’t suffered lightly to earn its honor. It has spent generations shielding the Masai from the perils of the African sun, fought the tallest of herbivores in creative ways, said no to the axe of development and beyond all that, it still stands. It can do so because it has strong roots.

Over the last 15 years, Bobby has worked as a filmmaker and photographer all over the world. His roots, albeit originally grown in the US, were planted firmly in East Africa in his early twenties. Moving to Uganda, Rwanda and then finally landing in Kenya to work as a photojournalist across the region, he has traveled extensively photographing, filmmaking and storytelling for conservation organizations, magazines, and most notably wildlife work for National Geographic.

In that timeline, he has gotten to know East Africa from a unique perspective...mostly flying above the landscape. In 2018, Bobby set out to photograph Kenya from above and is currently finishing a 200-page aerial photography book of Kenya’s wild landscapes.  During those flying expeditions, he became fascinated by the changes he was seeing across the landscape and decided to dedicate his time to not only sharing those stories on a global scale, but also taking guests to see those places before they change forever.

He has worked extensively with Eastern Lowland and Mountain Gorillas across the Congo and guided some epic adventure trips for companies like The North Face, National Geographic and others.  

After nearly 15 years photographing and telling the stories of wildlife across the region, Bobby is now using that expertise to design photography specific trips.  He believes that Tourism and wild spaces are inexorably linked and depend heavily on each other for their survival
