About Louis Lagwen

I first realized that I wanted to be a tour guide while I was still working as a ranger back in 1992. I had just finished my secondary school and I joined the military national service. After about nine months in the service, I got a job as a ranger with Serengeti National Park where my job was to function as an anti-poacher. Over those five years, I got familiar with the ecosystem of the park, and I became motivated to study the flora and fauna of the park so I could be a guide to visitors. I left my job, joined the college, and studied for a year until I became qualified and started work as

I think that my favorite thing about being a guide is that I can share my knowledge about our culture, our nature, and the history of the land with clients who come from all over the world. Sometimes, though, it can be challenging. Even though there are many animals in our parks, they have adapted over centuries to blend into the landscape. When it is sunny it can be especially tough to find them! People generally describe me as hardworking and smart, I am proud to say! I’m also proud to say that I have been married for 26 years and we have three beautiful children together, aged 25, 22, and 16 years. We live happily together in Arusha.

Louis Lagwen's Favourite

Serengeti National Park is my favorite. It can be visited all year round and has such a high population of big cats! It is also an incredibly unique place to see the Great Migration

My favorite animal is the hyena. They live in a social group known as a clan, but they are not good at hunting, depending on dead animals and scavenging for food. However, by doing so they help clean the wild and reduce the number of diseases which can be caused by rotten flesh which could spread through the ecosystem. I kind of see hyenas as a sanitation crew!

My favorite food is boiled green banana with beef. I would eat it every single day if I could!

I love keeping up with soccer and I also really enjoy reading magazines.

My favorite thing to watch on TV is definitely soccer, but I also like to keep up with the news.

I love reggae music and Bob Marley is my favorite. His voice and music conquered my heart – when I listen to Bob Marley, I can’t help but feel relaxed.
