Masaa John
Northern Guide
Masaa's story is simple. A Kilimanjaro boy from Masaailand, Masaa always knew he wanted to be a safari guide. He climbed to the top of 'Kili' on 30 separate occasions before the age of 30. He completed his guide training in Kenya, then found his way to Nomad, and joined the team in Sand Rivers Selous.
He's always loved the northern circuit, so it took no persuading to get him into the Serengeti, where he's now one of our northern guides. He is full of knowledge, not just on the wildlife but also on the history of the people and culture of the communities that live around the Serengeti. Masaa is our go-to man for insights into the ways of the Maasai and is also a great storyteller.
