I contacted Mwangi from Conquest thru Birdingpal and he responded immediately. He proposed a very long itinerary and also provided a bird target list for each location. It was a 4 day, 3 night private custom trip for me and my wife, picking us from our AirBnB in Nairobi.We traveled to Ol Donyo National Park and hiked the 2300 ft up a fairly sharp incline in one section to the top of the mountain. I was little worried as I was carrying my 400mm prime lens with a large hood, but we made it to the top on time and enjoyed the change of vegetation and weather as we hiked. We saw many beautiful birds, primarily because of Mwangi's excellent skills of recognizing bird calls and also his ability to spot inside a dark bush.We drove to Nyeri for the night's stay at a tented lodge setup recently by a well known birding guide. The facilities were excellent, views were amazing and food was excellent! And the Masai guide there along with the owner-guide are excellent hosts.Next day morning, we did a bit of birding at the lodge and then drove to Castle Forest. It had rained a lot and the trails were wet and muddy, but that didn't deter Mwangi or us from birding there. The lodge is basic, but an excellent location to enjoy the nature and birding. We saw many birds here as well.The next day, we left for another upscale lodge in Nyeri where Mwangi had arranged the services of a local guide which was very useful. It looked like Mwangi knew the area well, but I liked the idea of an experienced local guide who knew exactly which bush/tree to go to for specific birds. We saw couple of endemics here.On the last day, we traveled to Abderdare National Park and we entered thru one gate and exited thru another while birding all along. The scenery and the landscape was spectacular and we saw an important endemic here as well.After this we drove to Kinangop plateau and met up with another very enthusiastic local guide. With his help we saw another endemic.We returned back home by evening after a trip where I photographed 37 lifers, a very successful and fun birding trip.He proposed lodges, one for each night, of which two were well known, but one didn't have a listing. Initially, I was hesitant, but went with it and it turned out to be one of our favorite lodges.I highly recommend Mwangi as a guide and excellent planner. I will go birding with him again when I get the opportunity.

Our family had an awesome experience birding in Nairobi National Park with Mwangi, owner of ConQuest Adventures. We identified over 70 bird species in our short trip (a lot for rainy season), and saw hippo, crocodile, impala, lion, giraffe, and buffalo as well. Mwangi was so patient and understanding with our two rowdy young boys, and was overall so easy and fun to spend time with. He helped my bird-obsessed 9yo see his target birds, and helped him get awesome photos. Mwangi’s knowledge of birds and ability to identify species from a glance is something I’ve never seen before. He also gave us recommendations for what birds to look for near our hotel and neighborhood, including exact trees in which to find them. He graciously answered all of our questions about birds, animals, history, politics, and culture. It was an epic day. I can’t recommend Mwangi enough- with luck we can come back to Kenya and if so we will definitely book again, hopefully for one of the longer birding tours.
