Duncan was an integral part of the Matembezi family for nine years and is dearly missed by us all every day. Most will remember Duncan’s unwavering passion for wildlife and his excellent guiding skills. What set him apart from the rest was his enthusiasm to learn more about his guests, their cultures and life experiences. He was never without an infectious laugh, genuine smiles, and a constant twinkle in his eye, all of which are just some of his many endearing qualities.
Before his devastating and sudden passing in 2021, Duncan hailed from Moshi in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. He started his wildlife education early in Miwewe academy in 1999, proceeding to the prestigious Prots school to finish his studies in 2000. After graduation, Duncan began guiding in 2004 for various top-end safari operators, gaining invaluable experience. The Tarangire National Park always held a special place in his heart and is where he spent much of his time, especially in the long dry seasons. Duncan leaves behind a wife and three children.
You are never forgotten and always in our hearts. Rest In Peace dear Duncan.
