Guiding travellers from around the world to Uhuru Peak since the year 2000, Saidi has invaluable mountaineering experience. He has been part of the Tanzania-Experience team since day one in 2007. Looking back, he still remembers his first cold summit night and his exhaustion looking at the distant stars sparkling in the night sky. When the warm sun began to raise, Saidi regained his strength and made it to the top. He is very experienced in assessing when it is time to encourage you to keep going and when it is necessary to call off a climb and get you downhill to safety. As Head Guide, he is aware of the responsibility he has not only for you, but for every assistant guide, porter and waiter on his team. At home, he enjoys spending time with his family and three teenage children.
Saidi has climbed Mt Kilimanjaro more than 200 times.
What our guests say about Saidi:
“We were lucky to be accompanied by our Guide Saidi who is very experienced, capable and absolutely reliable. He has a big knowledge and advised us very well. Saidi and our Assistant Guide Hudson informed us in detail and turned out to be great motivators. Both are wonderful persons, very respectful and I liked their humour and kindness.” Madeleine from Switzerland
