I was born in Kilimanjaro region on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. I grew up and studied in Kilimanjaro region where I completed high school and obtained a degree in Wildlife Tourism at the College of African Wildlife Management (MWEKA). After completing university, I started as a guide where I worked for several companies for more than 10 years. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and Swahili as a native language.
During my career as a guide, I understood the travelers’ decision to visit Africa is precious due to their curiosity and wanted to make sure every traveler’s dream come true. Being a guide for me wasn’t enough and wanted to start a company where people from around the world can reach to.
In 2013, I decided to develop my dream to show people the beauty of my country as well as feeling responsible by giving back to the community by supporting the locals for a brighter future and conserving the environment due to the carbon efforts to the environment.
Here at African Big Cats Safari, is a place to ensure that your bucket list is fulfilled.
