After my secondary school, I joined a wildlife college in Mount Meru where I took a tour guiding course for one year. After that, the principal sent us out to the field for practical training where we visited several national parks to study the routes, landscapes, animals, and birds’ habitats. I joined a tour company in Arusha for an internship that lasted three months where I was guiding clients to several parks as per their itinerary. When I was finished, I was full of confidence in guiding clients, so I was assigned to go on safari with them.
I have so much fun being a guide, but my favorite thing is how I am able to teach visitors about our culture. It makes me happy to see clients that are interested to learn about our culture and I’m always excited to teach them the stories and cultural practices found in Tanzania so they can take that knowledge with them to their home once they leave.
The biggest challenge in being a tour guide is to be able to meet everyone’s expectations while on safari. I meet clients of all different backgrounds, ages, and nationalities, and all of them have different things they want to see while out on safari. It takes patience, experience, teamwork, and professionalism to be able to get everyone what they want.
I chose to work with Easy Travel because they are locally owned, run with expertise, and have people who really understand the industry. They are great at communicating between departments and understand the value of every member of their team.
In general, people say that I’m smart, humble, and easy to deal with. I married my wife 13 years ago, and we are blessed to have three kids: one son and two daughters. We stay in Arusha, Tanzania.
Serengeti National Park is my favorite. It is one of the biggest parks in Tanzania and covers a distance of 14,763 km2 which means lots of great land for endless game viewing. The name comes from the Maasai “Siringiti” which translates to ‘the endless plain’. Serengeti is the best place in the world to see many big cats as well as the Great Wildebeest Migration which the world has recognized as an event of exceptional beauty.
My favorite animal is the giraffe. I feel so proud and satisfied when I see a giraffe because their characters inspire me. Giraffes are the national symbol of Tanzania. The longer neck represents the tallest mountain in Africa: Kilimanjaro Also, the giraffe is a calm and polite animal that represents the peace and harmony of Tanzania.
I like eating cooked bananas with meat – it is a traditional food for me. This food makes me feel satisfied and I can barely go two or three days without having it.
My hobby is travelling and reading books and newspapers.
I like watching the news from different countries to know what is going on in the world.
My favorite singer is Diamond Platinum because of his performance on the stage and music videos. He is the number one Bongo singer in Tanzania and also represents Tanzania worldwide through his performances.
