MSANGI CHAREMA
CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
MsangiCharema, I am the Co-founder & Director of Africa Rooftop . I am originally a pare by tribe from Kilimanjaro foothills. I am born and grew up in a pastoral society. After my primary and secondary studies, I went to hotel Management College whereby I spent 2 years taking my food and beverage services course. In 2000 I got a chance to work with Ngorongorosopa lodge as a cook for a year and later on I moved to restaurant as a supervisor.
Coming from Kilimanjaro foothills with an experience of local short and long hiking’s on daily activities gave me an extra chance to work as a part-time guide for those clients who need to walk around and explore the beautiful environment Ngorongoro crater rim has to offer. Imagine spending time working plus leaving inside the Ngorongoro conservation area, getting to see animals just few steps away, buffalos, elephants, zebras etc “This inspired me for real and decided to go deep on tourism studies whereby I got my diploma as a tour and trekking guide. Later on I decided to quit the hotel industry and join the trekking and wildlife guiding job. Hiking Kilimanjaro (The African rooftop) were my dream since I was a little boy leaving few kilometers to the Kilimanjaro base but I finally made my dream true in 2004. I enjoy treks, hiking’s and long walking in the wilderness. From 2004-6 I spent most of my time on wildlife safaris guiding field before I opened Africa Rooftop Company in mid-2021. I personally love to serve people; I enjoy taking care of visitors who choose Tanzania for their holiday break. I loves adventures, learning new things every day, travelling to big cities out of Tanzania, go jogging, swimming, enjoy local meals etc.
I am a big fan of small 5 animals.

SALIM
TOUR GUIDE
My name is Salim, I was born on the foothills of Kilimanjaro Mountain and later on my parents moved into Arusha region. I did all my studies in Arusha City.My plan was to be an electrical engineer but when we visited Ngorongoro Crater on my school trip I ended up changing my first dream, we saw so many animals on their own life, we had short walking on the crater rim whereby we came across elephants and buffalos very closeby, at first I was scared but we had an armed ranger who insisted we shouldn’t worry. Camping on the crater rim is something I will always remember when there were elephants hanging around and in the night the buffalos came to camp also. I ultimately decided to quit my electrical dream and decided to become a safari guide and I love my career. Being a safari guide is part of my life, I loves nature and never been tired of it even if I go very often!
I have been working in tourism industry for more than 15 years including Tanzania and Kenya.
My hobby is to travel and meet different people around the world.
