Kennedy John

Kennedy, known as Ken, has been part of the Nomad family since early 2000. He came on board as a guide at Sand Rivers Selous, where he spent much of his time leading walking safaris. Having graduated from one of Tanzania's top private guiding colleges, it was no surprise that he proved such a hit and became one of the lodge's top guides in what is a very demanding safari environment.

Moving back to northern Tanzania, where his family is based, and working more in the Serengeti ecosystem with Nomad Safari Guides, further honed his game-driving and guiding skills.

He's hugely popular with our guests and has worked in all of our Nomad camps over the years. Keen to take on a new challenge, he is now managing our Kigelia camp, a perfect fit since Ruaha is his favourite park in Tanzania, followed closely by Katavi. Ken loves these parks for their remoteness and for being the only vehicle at a sighting, feeling as though he has a slice of Africa all to himself and his lucky guests.
