Lisa joined the team in 2019 as the in-charge-of-communication & social media. Relatively new to the tourism industry, she fits in very well; mixing her keenness for adventure and love for digital content creation. We learnt that Lisa is passionate about fashion and loves reading (travel) books too. So we don’t not easily find her without one of her latest novel during her lunch break!
Robison loves to travel during his free time and is passionate about nature. An accountant by profession, he joined the tourism and travel industry sometime in 2019 when he joined the Chameleon team. Listening to music (mostly reggae genre) is another one of his his favorite hobbies. Rob is mostly characterized by his good humour; always ready to make us laugh!
Peter was born in Nanyuki, from a family of five boys where he joined DIMA College to study Tour Guiding. Peter joined the tourism business as tour driver guide in 2002 and joined us in 2009 as Airport transfer guide. We can proudly say Peter is undoubtedly the friendliest person you’ll meet on arrival in Kenya! He is married with two boys and lives with his family in Nairobi. Peter loves meeting people from all over the world, teaching them about our country, people and animals. It makes him proud and happy to show case his homeland! His hobbies are football, biking and conservation and giving culture & wildlife lectures.
Benson, freshly graduated from Kenya Utalii Tourism College, joined the Chameleon team recently after a successful stint as ‘travel & tourism’ intern. Though new-ish to the industry, he is settling in well and working hard to pick up all the ropes of the trade. His favorite two travel destinations are Samburu, marveling at the sharp contrast between bush, sky & sand, or Malindi, watching what he refers to as the blue beauties of the ocean (Dolphins)! Hobbies which keep Benson busy in his (scarce) free time: watching birds whether in the bush or on a clear skyline, hiking, photography and last but not least listening to some slow sweet music after a busy day!
Henry has no formal background in tourism as such but has been a trusted force at Home & Office. Keen for new opportunities and challenges Henry joined us in the office in 2018 as an Airport representative. What a nice smile to welcome you on arrival in Kenya! He is married with children and lives with his family in Nairobi. Henry is a ‘fundi’ of all sorts but music must be his biggest passion: his guitar and the church piano keep him very busy on the weekends. But of course Henry loves traveling to and hence he has taken the team on fam-trips to several destinations Kenya-wide these past years.
Julius lives to travel! Hence organizing your safari plans is just second nature to him. Julius feels very fortunate to call Kenya ‘home’ and loves to share his part of the world with others! As an intern, straight from school a few years ago, Julius earned his stripes at Chameleon and moved up the ranks and now handles our guests’ inquiries on daily basis. His own preferred destination is the vast, rugged and truly African terrain of Northern Kenya but you will not find him too ‘picky’ as he loves anything travel & outdoors. Hobbies are traveling, reading and music.
Nathalie, born in Belgium yet bred in Africa, purely operates on solar energy and hence could not imagine life without Africa! She especially loves the sharp contrasts for which the African sky line is famous. Breathtaking sunsets over Africa’s red soil landscapes are her favorites (except for when trying to wash the dirt out of safari clothes). A visit to the coast would have to be in Watamu, but on safari, it could be a different destination for each day of the week, depending on her moods: Mara, Lewa, Tassia, Samburu … just too many breathtaking places to choose from! Nats has no love lost for cooking but she does love anything sweet & savory, including her pets and her boys at home!

Owner of Chameleon EA and Managing Director of the celebrated Kicheche Camps, Greg is an active member of the Kenya tourist industry and sat on the Kenya Tour Operators Association Executive Committee. He is also a founding member of three Masai Community Conservancies and is currently Chairman of Olare Motorogi Conservancy. A qualified KPSGA Silver guide himself, he has sat on the KPSGA Exam Committee, and yearns to get back to the bush and go for Gold.
