Victor was born in the Serengeti and comes from the hunting tribe of Zanaki/Kurya where his grandfather was a hunter and explorer. At a very young age his grandpa taught him how to track animals and take care of himself in the bush. Later, he attended Wildlife College to learn more about natural history and science, camp management, outdoor leadership, ecology, birds, and guiding skills for two years.
After that, he moved back to the Serengeti where he could live among the animals — track lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants and the rare rhino by naming them, which helped him understand more of their unique animal behaviors and life strategies. Later this would land him jobs working with some of the top wildlife photographers in the business and big safari groups like The National Geographic Society.
We’re lucky to have him on board this tour and as our guide on the ground in Tanzania.
