We firmly believe that the guides are the single most important factor in the success of a tour. Many qualities are essential in good guides. Firstly, they need to be professional in their approach and regard tour guiding as a job to be carried out well. They need always to put the group members needs and interests before their own, and we believe this is the approach taken by our professional guides.

Secondly, they need to be warm, friendly people who enjoy traveling with others, taking care of their needs when necessary and sharing enthusiasm for birds, wildlife and natural world with the tour members. A sense of humor is essential so as to engender the right atmosphere into the tour, and also a more than average level of patience so as to enable to deal calmly with any problems should they occur.

Thirdly, they need to be extremely competent ornithologists and naturalists with a sound knowledge of the areas being visited, and wealth prior field experience in the areas toured. We are proud of the levels of experience possessed by our guides, many of whom have spent many years in the areas visited doing research or regulary guiding tours.

Finally, they need to be well organized people, who pay attention to details and able to take care of the logistics in such a way that the tour participants are unaware of the work going on 'behind the scenes' leaving participants free to enjoy a hassle-free holiday.

All our guides are highly trained, certified and hold either Bronze or Silver qualifications of Kenya Professional Safari Guides association and are licenced as professional safari guides by Ministry of Tourism. We remain convinced that the professionalism, personality and extensive guiding experience of Peter Kamau, Caroline Gatune, Elias Kamande, Nicholas Wanjohi, Mark Liaram, Lucy Wanjiku and the Important Bird Areas guides will ensure a smooth running, ornithologically unbeatable and above all an extremely enjoyable safari.
