Although I have grown up in Arusha, I have been exposed to other regions including Kilimanjaro, Dar es salaam, Manyara and Mwanza. I am a tourism Certified guide with 3 years’ of experience in Mountain climbing and wildlife Safaris. I had worked as tour coordinator and reservation officer for more than three years for a well-established tour operator here in Tanzania.

I’m motivated to continuously improve not only my presentation skills but the business processes in which I take part. Why I love to be in Arusha?
