The entire trip was an excellent experience for me and my family.

  I spent a couple days birding with Mwangi in Nairobi NP and Gatamaiya forest. Mwangi is a phenomenal birder and great guide. We saw over 180 birds and learned a... read more lot along the way. Highly recommended!

  We had a really successful day of birding in Nairobi National Park. Our guide was not only enjoyable to be with, but also a true pro in terms of spotting... read more and identifying birds. We saw 129 unique species in a single day, which is about 120 more than we would have successfully ID'd on our own. My wife also appreciated the temperature-controlled environment of the enclosed vehicle versus an open safari truck.
The rates were very reasonable compared with some others in the area and we're glad we went with ConQuest.

  I highly recommend Mwangi and ConQuest Adventures. We had an excellent day of birding in Gatamaiyu Forest outside of Nairobi. The trip was easy to plan and all... read more of my emails were answered quickly. Gatamaiyu is a quick trip from Nairobi. Mwangi was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. We went for an amazing hike and saw many species of birds under his guidance. 5 stars!!

  I made a 1 week birding trip in central Kenya with Mwangi (owner of ConQuest). The trip was very well planned and we managed to see almost all the... read more species on my wish-list without too much stress, as well as enjoying some stunningly beautiful landscapes, wildlife and nice accommodation . All this for a very reasonable price. Mwangi is an excellent birder and guide and I enjoyed my time with him very much.

  Hello the community,

I have spend one morning with ConQuest Adventure...my only aim during this mini trip was to spot the fantastic "Hartlaub's Turaco" and thanks to the expert... read more eye of my guide we succeed :) and I took great pictures of this great bird

I truly recommend ConQuest Adventures to nature lovers and animal lovers

  Seriously wake up early and be prepared for a great day, my bf made those super survival arrangements and forgot the most important (tea and snacks). Even so, we had... read more so much fun, the Guide Mwangi Gitau took us to those beautiful waterfalls. My period started by the end of the trip and I got super sick, but he stopped the car many times for us and it was great.
Consider camping and hiking in the Aberdare, carry a 200mm+ lens if you want to take pictures. Mwangi Gitau is an incredible bird spotter and photographer, who you will surely learn from and share some laughs with.
Don’t be afraid to go for a swim before the afternoon as you will dry off quick before 3:00pm.

  A family day tour to Nairobi National Park yielded more than we had expected, we managed to see some splendid mammals such as lions, serval cats ,leopard sitting on... read more a branch and countless beautiful bird species.

ConQuest Adventures Ltd tour guide was very informative from the park history information, to quick in spotting the animals and birds as well as good driving skills which capped his sense of humour.

We highly recommend their services

  I was skeptical if anyone would be able to handle a handful of boys and a teenager. I tested the waters and truly it was just wonderful. The patience given... read more to the many unusual questions from children, their manners and still they came out with so much learning was just awesome. The day was not rushed where no time limit was given for everything: game, birding, children play breaks in the various picnic sites, photography lessons, the teenager needed sleep break so she got slow pace ride as she was unwell.
The family even had the opportunity to see one of the black rhinos in the park up close. Thank you guide, driver, babysitter, teacher too many hats.

  Visited Nairobi National Park with a friend for half a day. Mwangi was an excellent guide -- fun and very knowledgeable -- and made sure we covered as much of... read more the park as we could in our 5 hours while taking time to view the animals to our hearts' content. We saw many species of birds, mammals, and plants, and he knew them all. We spotted a family of lions in the distance and then waited with the engine turned off until they came right next to our vehicle. The two females and their cubs laid down in the middle of the road for about half an hour, completely oblivious to our presence. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

  Had a full day birding to Magadi with Mwangi and half day to Paradise Lost in Kiambu with Patrick. Both were excellent guides, knew the birds really well, as... read more well as other flora and fauna, and made sure we saw as much as possible. I wish I was staying longer as would seriously consider a multi day trip with them. Highly recommended for serious birders as well as amateurs.

He was very informative and a... read more very keen birder
We managed to see around 50 species despite the rains
Also we saw a Harvey's Red Duiker which was new to most of the group members
Would recommend ConQuest Adventures Ltd for birding tours in Karura forest and other areas in Kenya

  It was a lifetime experience worth every penny spent.
I and my friends from United Arab Emirates decided to venture on an African safari and we were lucky to... read more come across ConQuest Adventure Ltd
Mwangi promptly answered all our questions before booking and was true to his promises throughout the trip. We were picked up from the airport and hotel on time.
We were lucky to have John as our Driver guide who made sure we saw all the BIG FIVE and many more animals real close.
My favorite ones were the elephant families with their babies in Amboseli Park and the many lions at the Mara Game Reserve.
I highly recommend taking this fantastic trip with ConQuest Adventures Ltd that you would remember for the rest of your life

  Our group of six just returned from an amazing 10 days safari in Kenya with ConQuest Adventures Ltd.

We had a Wonderful Customized Safari in Nairobi (capital city) Meru... read more National Park, Samburu National Reserve and Lake Naivasha

It was a fully customized safari tailored according to our requests up to the smallest detail. I must have exchanged over a hundred emails with Mwangi and always received speedy and very informative responses.
So this is how it went down
Day 1, 2 & 3-We were picked up at Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, transfered for a full day city tour,then later proceeded for our two nights stay in a hotel.

Day 3,4,5 & 6-Transfered to Meru National Park where we enjoyed our three night stay

Day 6,7,8 & 9- Three nights stay in Samburu National Reserve

Day 9-10 - Overnight at Lake Naivasha.

Our Guide Kelvin was very informative and knowledgeable especially on the beautiful birds of Africa

Every possible aspect and every small details of the safari were carefully planned and accomplished.

To top it up all we received a bonus tour visit to Kora National Park and Buffalo Springs National Reserve.

Big up Conquest Adventures.
We can't wait to be back.

  We used the services of ConQuest Adventures Ltd for a day your to Nairobi National Park which is very close to the capital city
In less than four hours... read more we managed to see 3 of the big five
The guide was also very knowledge on birds,he spotted many different species with much ease.

  From the pristine wilderness of Laikipia to the glorious Mount Kenya, my trip was simply magical.
The (knowledge) wealth of experience exhibited by the ConQuest guide, Mr. Mwangi, ensured... read more that we we got great value for the trip.
Despite our amateurish Cameras, we were able to capture hundreds of up-close photos of landscape, animals...more so stunning birds shots...Now part of my rich birds collections

Would I recommend a friend? ABSOLUTELY YES!!, without hesitation. He made our trip UTTERLY unforgettable.

Apart from some luck of course Mwangi went to specific spots allowing a good overview and scanned together with us the landscape for potential lions and rhinos. This way we were able to spot them from. Distance and thanks to their great orientation skills they need where to go to get a close encounter. This way we also managed to see 5 black and 3 white rhinos which are also not the easiest, especially not at these numbers. Taken together we got the best guide possible for our needs leaving us with fantastic memories of this very special national park worth every dollar spend.

  I went on a tour with ConQuest Adventures to Nairobi National Park and David Sheldrick on the same day and it was a wonderful experience.
The guide and driver picked... read more us up from our hotel early in the morning and we had an amazing safari in the national park, which lasted about 5 hours. Right after the safari we went to David Sheldrick and then lunch in a great restaurant, which by the way, was a perfect birding spot.
The guide and driver kindly dropped part of our group in the airport, and the rest of us at the hotel.
The tour price was very reasonable and completely worth it! The guide Charles Mwangi and the driver were excellent and knew a lot about the animals.

  After our excellent experience in 2015, we were eager to join Mwangi once more for a birding trip in Kenya. This time (July 2017) we decided to extend the number... read more of days our trip, which demonstrates our faith in the quality of the services ConQuest Adventures has to offer.

During our time in Kenya in July, we visited more than 5 national parks, all having different biotopes. In close consultation with Mwangi, we selected National Parks which were great for birdwatching. But that didn’t mean we didn’t see the Big Five We simply weren’t so focussed on mammals. The good thing about birdwatching is that you get to places in the parks, where many Safaris don’t go. We also noticed that we probably had a much better chance to see large predators. The good thing about the selection of the parks we visited, is that you can walk sections, without having to worry about becoming prey of some of these predators.

Mwangi is among the very best bird guides we have come across (and we have met many guides during our 30-years of birdwatching). Mwangi also keeps an open mind for support from the local experts. That is how we met Nathaniel Mkombolah who showed us the Striped Pipit. And we joined Albert Baya, who found a few Sokoke Scops Owls for us. We are sure that Mwangi can find those Pipits and Owls on his own, but he prefers to support local guides and preservation organisations. We value such cooperation. Moreover, it also saves time, which can be used for adding another location instead.

ConQuest Adventures also arranged all our accommodation. And we experienced that Mwangi is of great support in helping us making a balanced and informed choice of the locations. Some fancy resorts are just not in the right spot. Then again, we’re quite happy staying in simple huts, especially when it’s in the middle of one of the unknown birding hotspots.

Mwangi/ConQuest has hooked us to Kenya and we are sure to contact him again for another visit.
