Mr. Erasto was born and raised in Tanzania. He started his guiding career in 2003 at Selous Game Reserve, in the southern part of Tanzania. After working there for 2 years, learning the guiding skills and a real understanding of the bush and wildlife, he moved to Mwewe Training College in Serengeti and qualified as a ranger. He started to work as an assistant head ranger for a luxury travel company in the western Serengeti.

A few years later Erasto moved to another luxury camp in the Serengeti, to join his wife who was working there, and to become a head ranger leading a team. His dream to have his own safari company and to be able to give back to the community, became reality a couple of years later. During one safari trip he met two safari guests, a Dutch couple, who shared the same passion and vision. They became friends and business partners and together set up Lomo Tanzania Safaris.

Erasto now manages Lomo Tanzania Safari, but also still leads safaris with the same passion as he did 19 years ago. He is also involved in training other guides. He just loves his job.
