Ally Simba
Travel Expert in Tanzania Write a reviewAbout
I was born and raised in a remote area of Tanzania. My dream to become an adventurer began when I was just 16 years old, mainly because of the lifestyle of my family. After I completed my high school education, I set out to fulfil my dreams and joined one of the leading safari providers as a safari guide, seeking to offer authentic safari experiences with integrity. After a few years of gaining experience, I decided to deepen my legs to conduct wildlife safaris, trekking activities and trips to the major tourist attractions.
I love my country and the people here, and I want to both contribute to the conservation of wildlife areas and help ensure that Tanzania and its people financially benefit from the amazing nature and wildlife that Tanzania has to offer tourists from all around the world!

Ally's best travel experience
In early 2009, I had a chance to visit the only remaining volcanic mountain, Oldoinyo Lengai, which is still active. The mountain is located in the northern Ngorongoro highlands within the Great Rift Valley. It is near a remote Maasai village and its name derives from the Maasai language meaning "The mountain of God". Here I learned that the Maasai people from the area go to worship on the mountain, asking for rain when they have a shortage of water and land for themselves and their cattle.
We climbed the 2700m mountain during the night and when we reached the top in the early morning, I was welcomed by great views of the nearby Lake Natron and the whole Ngorongoro and Serengeti plains. This is one of the most unique travel experiences I've had and I recommend it to everyone.
