Ernest Onesmo
Sand Rivers, Nyerere, Southern Tanzania
Ernest was born in Pangani on the Tanzanian coast, but now lives close to Kilimanjaro. He has been guiding since 2010 and before that was a scout in northern Tanzania for three years. Before working for Nomad, Ernest worked on the anti-poaching unit as a ranger from 1997 to 2007. Since his time with Nomad he has been guiding full time in the Selous and is loved by the team and guests alike for his energy, smile, dedication and incredible knowledge. He has a particular interest in birds and is fantastic with any clients who want to get into birding while on safari with us. A huge highlight of his career in the bush has been encountering rhino in the Serengeti. Having worked on anti-poaching the plight of the rhino is very close to his heart and seeing them in the wild will never get boring.
