Ever since I was a little boy, I have dreamed of becoming a safari guide. My name is John S Haygaru and I grew up in a village between Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania.

I thought being a safari guide was the coolest job in the world! In order to reach my dream, I had to go to school. Tourism does not just provide a fun career, but it is also the main source of income for many Tanzanians.

When I was older, I started a job at Tarangire National Park, but I soon realized that if I wanted to be a guide, I had to go to the city. Arusha is the main starting point for Northern Circuit Safaris in Tanzania, and I started my first job as a safari guide in 2004 at a small company in Arusha. The job was even better than my dreams.

A few years later, I decided to open my own safari company so we could offer destinations and experiences that are not available with other companies. Part of the mission of our company is to give back to the community where I grew up. We often take interested clients on service trips that have been making a difference in my home village for decades. From our home office in the United States to our local office in Arusha we are available to work with clients from anywhere in the world. Let our years of experience work for you to create unforgettable memories on an adventure of a lifetime.
