Meet The Crew

---

David is from the United States and has spent the last 10+ years traveling the world writing books about history and folklore.  He has been a guide in Mexico and Poland, so when he met Imran, it was a no-brainer to start a company with him.  David strives to find stories that most are unaware of to share with the world.  If you would like to see his work, you can find him on most book retailer sites, David Zelnar.

Imran was doing guide work when he met David and they decided to combine their skills to create Adventure Bats.  His knowledge about local botany and culture is astounding, as well as his thirst for information about the people, places, and wildlife in the locations we give tours. This desire to learn and share that knowledge sets the standard for the company, even if the rest of us can only remember a fraction of the facts that he can.

Moses is an avid birdwatcher and can identify a species just by hearing its song.  He has spent years working in the Serengeti and is highly knowledgeable about the animals that call Tanzania home, even though birds are still his favorite.  He embraces his Maasai heritage and, even though he and his family live a modern lifestyle, he understands and can explain the ways and customs of his ancestors. 

Juma is extremely knowledgeable about the national parks and the animals that live in them.  He has tracked the great migration for years and has mastered the skills to provide the perfect safari.  He is trilingual and can give tours in English and French in addition to his native Swahili.  He is not only an amazing guide, but is family, as he is Imran's brother-in-law.

Few know the East Rift Mountains like Yusto, especially when it comes to Kilimanjaro, which he summits multiple times a month.  He is licensed and certified to take you to the peaks of the great volcanoes if you're up for the adventure.  He is trilingual and is able to give tours in English and German, as well as his native Swahili.
