My name is Moses, I am 43 years old and I was born and grew up in Arusha. Although I have grown up in Arusha, I have been exposed to other regions including Kilimanjaro, Dar es salaam, Manyara and Mwanza. I am a tourism Certified guide with 3 years’ of experience in Mountain climbing and wildlife Safaris. I had worked as tour coordinator and reservation officer for more than three years for a well-established tour operator here in Tanzania. Currently I am working with my own business "Zicasso Expeditions" as a Tour Operator. I’m motivated to continuously improve not only my presentation skills but the business processes in which I take part. Why I love to be in Arusha? Arusha is a touristic city and I have a passion of tourism. If you would love to spend your vacation in Arusha drop your inquiry and book now!
