Testimonials
“Hi Chege, Maurice and I have talked about our day with you in the Nairobi National Park on many occasions. From a birding point of view it has been the high point of many years birding and I know that I have boasted about it to many people over the past six months. Your knowledge of the birds and of the park made it a truly memorable experience for which I want to thank and compliment you. To see more than 150 species in a day is spectacular, and when leopard and cheetah are added to the day's viewing, it becomes even more so”

Birdwatching East Africa (BEA) is one Kenya’s best kept secrets. Chege wa Kariuki and his staff are the best there is to offer for game drive, birding, photography, and mobile tent camping safaris. They create unique adventures for birders and photographers providing unparalleled opportunities to see many of Kenya’s bird species, numerous mammals, including the big five. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and provide in depth information about Kenya’s wildlife, habitats and people.

I, Kevin T. Karlson, wholeheartedly endorse the photography and birdwatching tours that Chege wa Kariuki leads in Kenya with his company Birdwatching East Africa. While the name suggests only birding tours, Chege is an accomplished wildlife photographer and can tailor the tour for birding, wildlife photography or a general safari. His expertise with birds also allows for unique photos of many interesting species that other general tour companies cannot provide.

“Chege Kariuki turned our vague ideas of what might make a good birdwatching holiday in Kenya into a wonderful experience. Not only did he arrange everything for us, he coped with the problems we threw at him with charm and good humour! As a birding guide, he is extremely knowledgeable and interesting. Despite having small children in tow, he found us great birds and taught us a huge amount about Kenyan ecology and conservation - to which he devotes a lot of his time and energy. We wholeheartedly recommend him as an excellent tour guide, trip organiser and birding companion.”
