Raymond

Raymond (Ray) was born in the eastern shores of Lake Victoria, Tanzania. As a child he was inspired by his grandfather’s stories of wildlife experiences in the Serengeti area back in the early 1900’s, long before the Serengeti became a National Park.

Following in the footsteps of his brother, Mkombe, who was a professional safari guide for over a decade and one of the founders of Nomad Safari Guides that later formed part of Nomad Tanzania.

Ray was fortunate to visit some of the world's natural wonders like Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara at an early age and this experience led him to study at the College of African Wildlife Management – MWEKA. Ray fulfilled his childhood dream to become a safari guide and he’s been guiding for 14 years with several notable awards heading his way over the years.

Before joining Nomad as camp manager at Kuro, Tarangire Raymond also trip lead trips across East Africa including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and to the Omo Valley in Ethiopia.
