My name is Hemedy Ally Said a.k.a Emmaunuel was born in Arusha Tanzania went to local primary school at Usangi(Eastern highlands of Kilimanjaro region) and completed secondary education at one of the local schools at Usangi.I could never go on with the studies since my parents could not afford to send me to school for further studies, therefore I moved back to Arusha to search for opportunities that is where I started to work at a certain hardware store where I worked as Manual labour to supply equipment and materials to customers using my own bicycle. After few years the shop bankrupts and i turned to a jobless in the street for several year till I started to volunteer at a certain organization here at Arusha.
Being born and raised on the foothills of Mt. Meru in Arusha I was always intrigued on why so many people would come to Tanzania and go on Safari. After my first visit to the Serengeti national park it was abundantly clear. I was swept away by the beauty and awe of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro and all the parks I soon visited. Right then I knew what I wanted to be – a guide and trip organizer.

After several years volunteering at the organization I started to know to how communicate in English language thus started to gain connections from people around the world through the volunteers whom I meet at the organization.
I remember there some volunteers asked me about to organize stay and wanting to visit and explore the local area at Arusha and nearby Kilimanjaro region, I tried my best to help them plan for these trip and actual that was my first trip ever to organize and that is where all begun to the present.
