Remtullah Nassary
Northern Guide
Rem, as he is known to all here, was born and grew up in Momella, on the slopes of Mt Meru. He is now at the top of his safari profession - as a walking guide - but he came up through the ranks from the very bottom. He worked with Roland & Zoe Purcell (the founders of Greystoke Mahale and Chada Katavi) for many years, starting out as a cook, before becoming a tracker.
After the merger in 2003, he stayed with Nomad Tanzania and then got into the serious business of full-time guiding. From early on, he was very clear where his passion lay—walking safaris. He was a general Nomad guide for three years and then moved down to Sand Rivers, where he made the famous walking safaris his own. You'll now find him up in the northern circuit, on foot as much as he can.
