Hussein Ngaroka
Sand Rivers, Nyerere, Southern Tanzania
Hussein was born in the coastal town of Tanga. His father worked for the Tanzanian railway therefore the family was always on the move, so he was able to do his secondary education in Dar es Salaam which he proceeded to follow with his college education in guiding. Hussein was inspired by his cousin who was a guide in the Northern part of Tanzania, and his knowledge for the wild made Hussien want to follow in his footsteps. Starting in the Selous Impala camp as a guide, Hussein quickly realized he has found his calling in the guiding world.
Hussein often bumped in to fellow Nomad Guide Ian Kiwelu in the Selous and it was just as well for Nomad that he did, as this was how Hussein came to be with us. Hussein started in the Selous that he already knew so well as his first post for Nomad, before moving to Kigelia and Katavi. Hussein has a great passion for wildlife in general but especially birds which is why he is so well fitted to be in Kigelia Ruaha.
