About Abisai Mbasha

I realized that I wanted to become a guide in 1998 by taking biology as a subject in secondary school. The subject taught me about living organisms and included sections on botany and zoology. I then set my target that I would study more about wildlife and distribute my knowledge to other people. After I completed school, I went to tour guiding college for two years and learned about customer care, wildlife management, geography, historical sites, national parks, game-controlled areas, game reserves, tour guiding ethics, and first aid. After that, I joined a driving and mechanics college and s

My knowledge and experience about ecosystems improved once I became a driver guide – I acquired a deep understanding of the different routes, locations of accommodations, animal behaviors and movements, customer service, and driving skills.

My favorite thing about being a guide is that I always get to go the extra mile to make sure my clients are satisfied, and their expectations are met. I love to answer their questions, taking good care of them and exposing them to our country’s wildlife and culture. In the end, I really appreciate when my clients acknowledge that my effort has met their expectations. However, it can be difficult to meet some of their expectations based on the season they come. Driving in either the dry or the wet seasons each have their pros and cons, so expectations have to be changed based on when they choose to visit Tanzania.

I chose to work with Easy Travel because they are a company that actively listens to their staff and their customers. They truly want to do the best job, so they constantly make sure they are communicating properly, and they are well-organized, and supportive of the community.

People in my community have described me as a good and cooperative person. I think it is because I participate in community duties and I’m always helpful to anyone who needs it. I’m married to my beautiful wife, and we are blessed to have four children. We are thankful to have 19 years of marriage and are living in Sakina, northwest of Arusha.

Abisai Mbasha's Favourite

Favorite Park

My favorite is Serengeti National Park. Serengeti is more than 14,763 square kilometer and is very famous for the Great Migration of the Wildebeest, as well as an abundance of big cats. All of these facets make this park the most popular park in Africa

Favorite Animal

The lion is my favorite because they are the kings of the savannah. Lions play an important role in the wilderness because through their hunting, they allow other scavenging animals like the hyena to survive.

Favorite Food

My favorite food is Ugali / Polenta. This is a kind of African food that is made up of maize flour. I like Ugali best with green vegetables and yoghurt.

Favorite Hobby

Driving is my hobby and I like to drive different kinds of cars. I developed this interest during my childhood. My uncle would take me from our village into town and taught me how to drive his car.

Favorite TV Show

I like to watch the news on local channels. Through the news, I get to know information and events that are happening in our country in economic, social, and political aspects.

Favorite Music Band

I like gospel songs, and Rose Mhando is my favorite singer. Nibebe is my favorite song from her.
