John love natures and outdoors activities. Safari guiding is not just a job for him but a passion as well. He is an avid mountain climber with knowledge of Tanzania`s rough terrain, and most inspiring and perhaps daring adrenaline pumping sports the country has to offer. John passion for outdoors means he spend his “down time” fishing or swimming with family and friends.
Half of his life has spent in tour or hospitality work. He did fall in love with tours when working with a church as a logistician his work was to plan trips for mission teams visiting the church from USA and other countries. He has worked with different teams from around the world, visiting at the same time doing local tourism. In Kenya, he had an opportunity to be a VIP driver. One of the greatest highlight in this field was when he drove the former Nigeria president, Obasanjo, and many other African government officials.
