Your Gateway to Expert Guided Birdwatching Tours East Africa
East Africa holds more bird species than almost any region on earth. Finding them — really finding them — takes guides who have spent 65yrs combined learning where they hide, what they eat, and when they sing. Chege wa Kariuki, Edson Mlamba & Wilson Tiren among other guides have combined identified over 1200 species across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda. They are field ornithologists, wildlife photographers, bird photographers, and other guides, that experts like Josep Del Hoyo; Spain and Jack Jeffrey; Hawaii, Kevin Karlson; USA call Kenya’s best kept secret.

Client testimonials
Real travelers. Real stories. Real opinions to help you make the right choice.
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.
Get Ahead in Travel with Booking
I, Kevin T. Karlson, wholeheartedly endorse the photography and Birdwatching tours East Africa 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 was very knowledgeable on every site that I visited with him and we succeeded in videoing several difficult birds.
