I am an active licensed professional tour guide and pride myself on my ability to add a personal touches to every tour I conduct. It is extremely important to me that my guests return home with experiences to remember. I was born and raised in Eswatini (formally Swaziland) lived all over the country and im passionately in love with it. I know it from the heart, inside out. I also travelled to South Africa and Mozambique all of this comes out as part of my guiding. My approach to guiding is not to lecture people and give them boring dates, but to make friends and to show my new-found friends this amazing place I live in and hope to give them small taste of living in eSwatini. I also like to talk about our cultures and traditions. If you are the type of person who likes dates and facts. . . . . I can give you what you want. But my style is a more conversational one, engaging with my listeners and not a glibly rolling of endless facts from the tongue. I'm comfortable with bigger groups but I often prefer smaller groups where I can build relationships and make the experience more personal. After you have seen Africa through my eyes, it will forever be in your heart, but be ware you might have to keep coming back for more because eSwatini gets into your blood. I have many years experience in guiding tours all over Swaziland. As a Swazi tour guide with this vast experience I able to offer a service worth to what a traveler has paid. I have also been asked to give guiding services to VIPs like celebrities, high officials and business people. All my tours can be customized please feel free to contact me if you need any. I started to work as a tour guide from the year 2007 immediately when i completed my high school. I worked for a reputable tourism company building my experience until 2019. To further my knowledge I went through a tourist guide course that was facilitated by the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality and Tourism Association of Swaziland (HoTAS). The course included the following subjects upon the: Culture, Traditions, Archeology, Geology, Geography, History, Fauna and Flora. NONE
