“I was born in Milan from a family of engineers. I left home at 26, after a masters in engineering and a couple of years of work, to follow my dream in Africa. I first landed on the continent as a volunteer for the Tarangire Lion Project NGO. Since then I pursued my passion as a safari guide and have worked for the last 18 years guiding in some of the wildest, most beautiful and private corners of Africa.”

He can convey his passion and love for animals and has a great respect for his job. He is very generous to share his knowledge and always makes sure everybody is having a good time. Taking care of those small details that makes the whole experience unique and personal. This year we decided to repeat the experience with the whole family. Pietro never fails to deliver.
