Rose is one of the first smiling faces many guests meet when they arrive. From booking accommodations to welcoming travelers for their safari briefings, she brings warmth, efficiency, and a personal touch to everything she does. She’s often called the heart of the reservations team—known for her kindness, attention to detail, and deep love for elephants.

What is your day-to-day job at Good Earth Tours?
I help book and confirm hotel accommodations and meet guests in person for their safari briefings. It’s important to me that every guest feels welcomed, excited, and prepared before heading out on their adventure.

What’s your favorite safari animal and why?
Elephants are my favorite—they are the largest land animals, and I admire how social, intelligent, and family-oriented they are. They live together in close family units and have incredible memories. You can see their emotional intelligence, and that always amazes me.

How did you get started in the travel or safari industry?
Working in tourism has been my dream since childhood. After finishing high school, I enrolled in a tourism course and was lucky to start my career at Good Earth Tours. It’s been a dream come true to help bring people closer to the beauty of Tanzania.

What’s your favorite national park or safari destination?
Tarangire National Park is my favorite—because it’s home to large herds of elephants, and since elephants are my favorite, it feels extra special. The landscape is also beautiful and unique.

What’s one local phrase or word you think every safari-goer should know?
“Jambo!” I always greet guests with a warm smile and a friendly handshake, saying “Jambo” to show how happy I am to meet them for their safari briefing. It’s a simple word, but it carries a lot of warmth.

Do you prefer sunrise or sunset on safari? Why?
I prefer sunrise. It’s when the animals are most active, and the colors in the sky are absolutely stunning. It feels like a fresh start and a perfect time to begin an adventure.
