John Hipolite
Chada, Katavi, Western Tanzania
John joined Nomad over a decade ago as a carpenter in Sand Rivers Selous. His is quite the success story of on-the-job training as, after a few years in the workshop making furniture for the camp, John moved into a waiter role in Sand Rivers and Chada Katavi, and then later progressed to become the head waiter in Lamai Serengeti.
He didn't stop there and a few years later, he became a host at Serengeti Safari Camp, our mobile tented camp that follows the migration, before becoming its manager. John is now a fully-fledged Nomad safari guide and enjoys being based out of Chada Katavi in Katavi National Park.
