package transport help wanted

Hi All, I'm in the Bay Area of California and am trying to get a small portable air compressor to our safari guide from last summer, who is based in Arusha. One day we had two flats out in the Serengeti; fortunately he had two spares. But with an air compressor and tire plug kit he could be self-sufficient out in the bush. He is a wonderful guide who works hard running his small mom-and-pop operation, and who knows his stuff and cares about his country and sustainable development. At the same time he recognizes that the postal service there (as well as government agencies generally) is pretty corrupt. Shipping via the usual DHL type services is crazy expensive, so I am hoping to find someone who is checking some of their luggage and would be willing to carry this item to Arusha for free or perhaps to cover any excess baggage fee. The item is in a plastic carrying case, weighs 9 pounds (4.1 kg), and is 12"x7"x9.5" (30cm x 18cm x 24cm). You would pack this with your checked luggage, meet him in Arusha, and then would have room for souvenirs on the way back!
