David A. Lyimo
Founder & Tour Guide
Karibu sana! Welcome to Tanzania, home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife on Earth. I’m David Ayumwi Lyimo, born and raised in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro, in the picturesque village of Mbahe near Marangu. From a young age, I felt a deep connection to the natural beauty surrounding me – the lush forests, the majestic mountains, and the vibrant wildlife of our national parks.
At the age of 13, my first visit to a National Park sparked a lifelong passion for safaris and expeditions. By 15, I embarked on my first trek as a porter, an experience that opened doors to international travel and a chance to share Tanzania’s wonders with the world. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading over 100 safaris and summiting Kilimanjaro more than 70 times.
In 2012, I founded Lyimo Expeditions with a commitment to integrity and meticulous attention to every detail, values instilled in me from my early days. Beyond tourism, I am dedicated to community development, spearheading projects like the Longochi Water Supply initiative, ensuring access to clean water for thousands in my home region.
Join us at Lyimo Expeditions for an authentic Tanzanian adventure where each journey is crafted with care and respect for our environment and culture. Together, let’s explore the wonders of Tanzania – from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Karibu Tanzania!
