Hi, I’m Yoshua — I was once called Kelvin.
“The earth was formless. Empty. Darkness covered everything. That was me.
But then He said, ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light.
I didn’t just read that verse — I became it.”
After I got baptized, everything changed. I didn’t choose Jesus — He chose me. Since then, I’ve been walking in a new kind of light — and I love sharing that joy with everyone I meet.
If you join one of my tours, you’ll notice two things right away:
1. I love people.
2. I love Tanzania — the culture, the stories, the everyday life.
I don’t just guide you through streets and markets — I help you connect with real people, speak some Swahili, and experience the soul of this place. And if you're open, we might even talk about the deeper things in life too.
Let’s make memories together.
