Ali Kea

Ali is one of Nomad's many success stories. Having grown up near Arusha, he joined us back in 1999, then a young man with no experience under his belt. Over the years, he has worked across Tanzania's different national parks and finally achieved his dream of joining the prestigious ranks of the Nomad Northern Guides. He still has aspirations of becoming a world-class guide, and we think he's well on his way.

Ali loves all of Tanzania's wild places, but Mahale and the chimps are particularly close to his heart, attracted as he is to the remoteness of the area. One of our most friendly guides, Ali is known for his affable personality, wit and easy laughter. He has many a tale of elephant antics and bucket showers, and he is bound to put a smile on your face and keep it there.
