I'm Damien, raised from age 6 on Sanctuary Farm—a 450-acre wildlife conservancy in Kenya that’s been home to my family for generations. Today, I help care for the land, the animals, and the guests who visit. Alongside my wife and our little boy, I’m proud to share the magic of this place through our cottages, restaurant, and the wild beauty all around us.
