Known for his warmth, wisdom, and the occasional wildlife joke, Moses, AKA Macho, brings a blend of knowledge and heart to every safari. With a deep respect for animal behavior and a love of early mornings in the bush, he’s the kind of guide who turns game drives into unforgettable experiences.

What’s your favorite safari animal and why?
The dik-dik is my favorite animal. They may be small, but they’ve got big hearts—they pair for life and never divorce. I admire their loyalty. Plus, watching them dart through the bushes in perfect sync is always a treat for guests.

What’s your favorite national park or safari destination?
Serengeti National Park is my favorite, without question. It’s one of the largest and most iconic parks in Tanzania. You can witness the dramatic migration of wildebeest and zebras, and it offers incredible opportunities to spot all members of the Big Five. There’s also a high chance to see entire cat families—lions lounging together, leopards resting in trees, and cheetahs on the move. Every drive feels like a discovery.

What’s one thing most travelers don’t expect about going on safari?
Many people don’t realize just how close we actually get to the animals. Seeing an elephant or lion up close—not through a screen, but in real life—takes your breath away. That moment when guests realize how wild and real it all is? It never gets old.

What’s one local phrase or word you think every safari-goer should know?
Two key phrases:
“Jambo” – It’s our way of saying hello, and it’s always the first step to making guests feel welcome—especially in the early morning.
“Hakuna Matata” – It means “no worries,” and that’s how we like to keep the safari experience: relaxed, joyful, and full of good vibes.

Do you prefer sunrise or sunset on safari? Why?
I prefer sunrise. That’s when the bush really comes alive. Most animals are active, and it’s prime hunting time for the big cats. The light is also perfect for photography—soft, golden, and dramatic. There’s a quiet magic to those early hours that you just can’t find at any other time of day.
