About Yusuph – Your Guide in Tanzania

Hello! I’m Yusuph, Your local guide based in Northern Tanzania, born and raised near Lake Eyasi in a proud Datoga tribal family.

From my earliest days, I was taught how to live with the land — herding cattle, tracking animals, and learning the wisdom of my elders. These lessons, passed down through generations, shaped who I am.

 

As I grew older, I taught myself English — driven by a dream: to connect people from all over the world with the beauty, spirit, and traditions of my homeland.

Today, I guide travelers, photographers, and adventurers through Tanzania’s most unforgettable experiences — from tribal encounters to wildlife safaris and mountain adventures.

Unforgettable Wildlife Safaris

Tanzania is home to the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth, and I’ll be your personal connection to the wild.
 
I guide custom safaris across:
  • Serengeti – for the Great Migration and Big Cats
  • Ngorongoro Crater – the world’s largest intact caldera
  • Tarangire – land of elephants and baobabs
  • Lake Manyara & Lake Natron – flamingos, waterfalls, and birdlife

Lake Natron Activities:

 Visit the Flamingo Breeding Grounds
  • Lake Natron is the only regular breeding site for lesser flamingos in East Africa. Witness thousands of flamingos in their natural habitat – a truly magical sight!
       
Hike to Ngare Sero Waterfalls
  • A scenic hike through a narrow gorge takes you to beautiful waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery – perfect for a refreshing swim.
       
  • Climb Ol Doinyo Lengai (Mountain of God)
  • This active volcano is sacred to the Maasai. A night climb rewards you with sunrise views over the Rift Valley and Lake Natron.
  
 Walk Along the Lake Shore
  • Discover the surreal landscape: crusty salt flats, mineral formations, and the reddish glow of the lake – a paradise for photographers.

Bird Watching & Nature Walks

  •  Besides flamingos, Lake Natron is home to many bird species and fascinating desert wildlife.
Sunset & Sunrise Viewing
  •  The dramatic colors over the lake, with Ol Doinyo Lengai in the background, make this one of the best spots in Tanzania for sunrise or sunset.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned safari traveler, I’ll help you experience the magic up close — in comfort, safety, and awe.

Trekking and Mountains

Tanzania’s mountains are sacred and stunning — and part of our way of life.
I can help you plan treks and cultural routes around:
  • Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest peak
  • Mount Meru – quieter and rich in wildlife
  • Crater Highlands & Rift Valley – dramatic volcanic landscapes and ancient trails.
 
Whether you want a short hike or a serious climb, I’ll connect you with nature and culture every step of the way.

Zanzibar – The Spice Island Experience

Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich islands in the Indian Ocean. Known as the “Spice Island”, it offers a perfect combination of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with winding alleys, old sultan palaces, lively markets, and Arabic-style architecture.

The island is also famous for its spice plantations, where guests can learn about cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, and other spices that made Zanzibar an important trading hub for centuries.

For nature and adventure lovers, Zanzibar has crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling, diving, swimming with dolphins, and the popular Safari Blue excursion, where visitors sail in traditional dhows, snorkel around coral reefs, and enjoy fresh seafood on a sandbank.

Of course, Zanzibar is also a place to simply relax – with white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, and palm trees, it’s a perfect way to end a safari adventure on the mainland.
