Meet
Castro Kapela

Castro has been the Director of AA Tanzania for twenty years now and is well known and respected in Moshi. From Zulu descent, his infectious laugh and calm manner has been a big help to many hundreds of our clients over the years. He also understands the company ethos of looking after the staff well and is a popular employer in the town. With our support he is able to pay excellent salaries, provide training in first aid and altitude, and ensure that everyone is happy in their job.

Castro was once a porter himself when Gavin first met him, he set up the company with our injection of capital support. This has also enabled him to run Kilimanjaro Campsite in Moshi which provides excellent camping accommodation and rooms in the town.

Castro is married to Latifah, with whom he has two children, and enjoys story telling and being with his family.
