Born in Italy in 1961, Riccardo Orizio lived in Milan, London and Atlanta, but recently settled in Africa for a "second life" with the Maasai warriors. His new home is Saruni, a small deluxe safari camp in the Masai Mara (Kenya), surrounded by wildlife and dramatic landscapes.
As a foreign correspondent for the Italian daily newspapers Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica and for CNN, in his “first life” Riccardo has covered war, peace and the all what happens in between.
