Bernard Mwangi

Bernard Mwangi is a Kenyan bird guide based in Nanyuki, on the western slopes of Mount Kenya. The location gives him a natural focus on the Mount Kenya / Laikipia / northern circuit — Meru, Samburu, and Buffalo Springs to the north for the dry-country specialities like Somali Ostrich, Vulturine Guineafowl, and Williams's Lark, and Mount Kenya itself for highland forest species and Hinde's Babbler. He runs his own outfit, Bernard M. Mwangi Adventures, with monthly scheduled departures alongside private custom itineraries. Unlike the large international operators, he is a one-guide operation, which suits visitors who want a single point of contact across an itinerary rather than a rotating cast of leaders. Mwangi extends regularly down to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and is listed in the BirdingPal directory as one of the active professional guides in the country.
