One Amazing Thing I’ve Done


The One of the most amazing things I’ve done is Climb kilimanjaro as a maasai poter also guiding a group of tourists on a thrilling safari in the Serengeti during the Great Migration. Witnessing thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River while dodging crocodiles was breathtaking not just for the tourists but also for me as a guide. Sharing that unforgettable moment and seeing their excitement reminded me why I love what I do. It’s incredible to connect people with nature and create memories that last a lifetime.
