Nathan may be a relative youngster, with regards to our other guides, but he has led a very diverse life. After finishing his education, he trained to be a Nursing Officer in Dar es Salaam. After 4 years he started to yearn for the great outdoors and went to work for a mountain climbing company, leading to his climbing Kilimanjaro over 50 times!!!

Eventually coming down off the slopes, he realised that it was the bush life that he wanted to pursue, after a short stint as an Arusha trainee guide. He joined Nomad in 1999 as a cook (another skill he picked up along the way), then became the headman at one of our mobile Serengeti camps. In 2005 he joined Nomad's annual guide training event, and that was it. He started out at Sand Rivers Selous and now guides full-time in the Northern Circuit and now knows he is exactly where he is meant to be!
