While Joseph has been guiding travelers through Tanzania’s national parks since 2012 and lost count of how many safaris he’s been on, he still gets excited every single time one of his guests experiences their first wildlife sighting. Sharing in their joy is what makes guiding such a rewarding job for him. His guests come from all walks of life and Joseph gives his all to offer new insights into local wildlife and nature – even if you are a safari or conservation expert yourself. Apart from English, Joseph also speaks German, and even with an American accent he acquired over time. If Joseph can choose the route, he will take you to Tarangire National Park during the dry season, to look for the rare African Wild Dog, one of his favourite animals. With local knowledge on the history, culture, nature and wildlife, Joseph knows the best places to visit while in Tanzania.
"Our trip was absolutely amazing; our Guide Joseph was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about the country and animals and seemed to be able to put us in the perfect place at just the right time, along with managing to keep us out of the craziness of the other tour vehicles. Thanks again it truly was a trip of a lifetime!!!” Beatriz and Oscar from Spain.
As a native Tanzanian I’ve always had passion for tourism and I’m fascinated by foreign countries and their culture. My whole life of education, travelling has all related to tourism and I have been involved in almost every aspect of the industry.
I love to get on touch with new people and unknown culture because that is the only way to really enjoy the mind by sharing experience and motives.
There came a point in my life where I wanted to to investigate and work in travel. Excellent customer service and high quality of service are very important in travel business that’s why I always as a Tour consultant promise our valuable clients to have a forgettable stay with us.
Guiding travellers from around the world to Uhuru Peak since the year 2012, Simon has invaluable mountaineering experience. He has been part of the Twende Africa Tours team since day one in 2014. Looking back, he still remembers his first cold summit night and his exhaustion looking at the distant stars sparkling in the night sky. When the warm sun began to raise, Simon regained his strength and made it to the top. He is very experienced in assessing when it is time to encourage you to keep going and when it is necessary to call off a climb and get you downhill to safety. As Head Guide, he is aware of the responsibility he has not only for you, but for every assistant guide, porter and waiter on his team. At home, he enjoys spending time with his family and his little baby.
Simon has climbed Mt Kilimanjaro more than 120 times.
“We were lucky to be accompanied by our Guide Simon who is very experienced, capable and absolutely reliable. He has a big knowledge and advised us very well. Simon and our Assistant Guide Hudson informed us in detail and turned out to be great motivators. Both are wonderful persons, very respectful and I liked their humour and kindness.” Hanna from Norway.

One of the most mind-boggling achievements on a Tanzanian trekking expedition is the production of tasty hot meals in the very challenging conditions of a Mount Kilimanjaro high-altitude climb
Our chefs are professionally trained to prepare tasty and nutritious food on the mountain. They often work in harsh conditions – in howling winds or ice rain using only gas stoves in a kitchen tent or a small hut. They can conjure up substantial cooked breakfasts and delicious and hearty 3-course dinners with warm soups prepared with fresh vegetables, a mouth-watering main course such as pasta with a rich meat sauce and vegetables or pancakes followed by a dessert or a plate of fruits for something sweet.
They get up when it is still dark in the mornings to boil drinking water for the day’s hike and go to sleep after every guest and porter has been fed. Our chefs can also cater for vegetarians, vegan or climbers with food allergies or intolerances or any other special dietary requirements such as Halal and Kosher, by prior arrangement.
There are 8 cooks permanently working with our company and they all receive regular training in new techniques and recipes.
Growing up in Singida, Rashid heard stories and read in books about the highest mountain in Africa as a young boy. When he saw the majestic Mt Kilimanjaro with his own eyes for the first time, there was no stopping him: starting out as porter, he quickly moved on to become a qualified trekking guide, taking travelers to the Roof of Africa. Since 2012 he shares his passion for climbing Mt Kilimanjaro with his guests; since 2012, he shares it as part of our team. AS the family man that he is with two children, Rashid makes sure to pack warm socks for the cold summit night.
Rashid has climbed Mt Kilimanjaro more than 100 times.
“Our mountain trek was fantastic, we were looked after so well by our Guides Rashid and Godlisten and Novatus. Rashid was incredible; he set the pace for us and was our leader. He was very knowledgeable and informative. he made sure we knew what each stage involved and briefed us every night. On the last night up to the summit these amazing men sang as we trekked in the dark and it really helped us to stay focused and determined to succeed.” Dilendri from Australia
