JOSEPH
is our senior ornithological safari guide and his vast experience of 9
years in field guiding has been a great input in our company, as many
of the client(s) who have gone safari with him, always have introduced
a new friend to us if not a group of birders. Born at Central province
of Kenya, JOSEPH's interest in birding came way back in 1992-1995 as hidden
talent when he was in secondary school. This saw Joseph emerging with
a Geographical Club which he chaired as the chairman and later joined
tourism college, these saw him grow gradually with the interest of birding
and later joined Nature Kenya, a society that back here in Kenya deals
with the matters pertaining with Birds, Flowers, Plants, Entomology and
in general the conservation of Nature. He has also been a member of the
Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association (KPSGA) and holds a Bronze
Medal. His endless effort has been great such that, he is never late with
activities concerning birding in and around the world. For he has been
a great volunteer with the department of ornithology back here in Kenya.
Due to this, Joseph is always at the forefront during the annual African
Water bird census that is conducted every January of the year and not
to mention the Bi-annual World bird watch. Apart from that Joseph has
been a tour leader with most of the leading tour operators and among the
many prominent birders that he has gone safari with is Mr & Mrs Andre'
Konter, a research scientist and a writer of the book THE GREBES OF
OUR WORLD a lynx edition. His birding safaris have been commendable
with the growing list of the clients who have done safari with him.
NICODEMUS
nicknamed by our birding clients "NICO" has been role
model to many of our birding as well as the wildlife safari guides. Due
to his avid birding and research work in the field, has earned him great
respect with many birders all over the world, and in return to his service
many of the birding clients have offered him travel package on birding
research to many countries just to mention United Kingdom, Hungary. Born
in 1977 in Western province (on the slopes of Mt. Elgon) he grew up with
an interest in Natural History, this lived on and to his surprise found
himself working in the same environment at the National museums of Kenya
- Nairobi. He has had a passion for birds since his early child hood,
and again not bragging he currently work in the department of ornithology
based at the Museum as a research technician. During his early years working
as an intern in the Ornithology Department he indeed gained a wide knowledge
in Afro tropical ornithology covering both aquatic and terrestrial habitats
in Eastern Africa, and Kenya in particular, He too visited several European
countries to booster his ornithological skills. His key responsibilities
in the department have been logistical co-ordination of research expeditions
(often involving volunteers and tourists), and information and records'
management for birds. As Freelance tour leader/guide, Nicodemus has led
several birding safaris with Holbrook Tours and Travels / Elderhostel
Birding Programmes' in leading bird tours in Kenya.
