Heribert Mardai
I was born on a Sunday afternoon August 21st 1983 right on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. I was raised in Arusha the tourism capital of Tanzania and the Geneva of Africa as the last of nine children.
Since childhood I have had the love for animals and nature as it is. Being a Leo by zodiac I have always loved cats, Lions being my favourite. With that inspiration I took science studies and finally joined the College of African Wildlife Management where I did a Diploma in Wildlife Management for three years. Thereafter I joined Nomad Tanzania limited and worked as a Driver guide for a year in the Selous Game Reserve before going back to the same college for an Advanced Diploma.
Not being much of a traveller, I have had the opportunity to travel to Wurtsburg, Germany where I visited a few parks and the Frankfurt zoo. During my training at the college I have had the chance to visit most of the protected areas in the Northern circuit of Tanzania and that added to my experiences in the wild and made me fall even more in love with nature and what it has to offer.
I have always dreamt of working in the wild and I am thankful that it is what I am building on as my career. I enjoy every moment that I am out in the wild and I have seen the beauty and excitement that the wild has to offer, there is nothing I enjoy more than sharing that with others. I urge all to come and share this God given gift to Humanity with me.
