One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly I have met and helped many travellers to succeed their plan of visit my country Tanzania.
I helped and arranged so many trips for students, solo travellers, tourist and budget people.

As guide I already managed to visit almost all Tanzania national parks, but I was so much happy to do hiking trails at Gombe and Mahale national parks home of chimpanzees trekking.
It was so lovely amazing trip I can't forget in my life, beautiful mountains and lake for chilling and swimming...if you have enough time and money and wanna make something special in your life please put those places in your schedule I assure you will not regret and forget.tanzania has a lots to see but Gombe and Mahale are my favorite parks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I,m a politely man understanding and helpful! a lier man he is not my friend! as Guide I may be sometimes busy with my job but I will leave my key with you and you will be staying with my family so always you will not feel lonely at all.
I heard sometimes couch suffers scared to contact with Guides through couch surfing! they are expected to be asked about tour or money, sure maybe this sometimes happening for some people you never knows! but for my side I can say...
I,m not that kind of Guide or a person! Why? Because....
I got a work so I will be here to help you with the best option or plan if you only ask me to help you, I can't and will never ask to arrange you any tour till you say or need my help! (Promised & promised) I'm here to make friends, host, get hosted, meet and hangout,
Before joined and created my account I read and understood the rules and regulations of couch surfing very careful so I know how it works out..
You are in safe hands feel happy with me all the time doesn't matter your Solo or it's your first time in africa.i will take care of you for everything.
Peace and love 🫶
(Let's meet up for)
Experiences, laughs, nice chats, points of view, LOTS of jokes and some fun time!
..... PLEASE READ....
do not request and confirm your stay if you not sure with your schedule or plan! You may make me misunderstanding and perhaps cancel others required which is unfair!
