Msumanje Kili Explore Director
My name is Rabiel Marick Msumanje, born and raised in Msitu wa Tembo village, located in Simanjiro District, Manyara Region, Tanzania. Since childhood, I have been deeply inspired by the beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes, the rich cultures of its communities, and the tourism industry that has made Tanzania one of the world’s most remarkable travel destinations.
Driven by a strong passion for tourism and hospitality, I joined Eureka Training Centre in Arusha City, where I studied Tour Consultant and Tour Operator. This education provided me with professional knowledge and skills in tour planning, customer service, tourism operations, hospitality, and international-standard customer care.
