Henry Wavwire is a highly experienced and knowledgeable private guide with over a decade of guiding safaris across Kenya’s most iconic and remote landscapes. A KPSGA Bronze-level certified guide and an active member of Nature Kenya, Henry has spent years deepening his understanding of East Africa’s rich ecosystems, with a particular passion for wildlife behavior, birdlife, and the interconnection between flora, fauna, and local communities. His guiding career has taken him from the rolling savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the arid lands of Samburu and the forested slopes of the Aberdares, where he has consistently delivered thoughtful, informative, and deeply engaging experiences for his guests.

Henry’s approach to guiding is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. He excels in reading animal behavior and positioning his guests for unforgettable sightings, always with a strong emphasis on ethical wildlife viewing and conservation awareness. His guiding style is enriched by his background in cultural interpretation, offering guests layered insights into Kenya’s diverse ethnic communities, their traditions, and how they coexist with the natural world. He is especially adept at working with photographers, birders, families, and French-speaking guests - thanks to his fluency in French and a deep appreciation for the nuances of personalised travel.

Over the past decade, Henry has overseen high-end safaris and handling all aspects of private travel: from managing group dynamics and travel logistics to coordinating accommodations and ensuring safety in the bush. His ability to anticipate guest needs, provide warm and professional service, and remain composed under pressure has made him a favourite among repeat travelers. Whether it’s tracking lions at dawn, explaining the ecological role of termites, or translating between Swahili, English, and French, Henry brings clarity, curiosity, and heart to every journey.

With a strong foundation in first aid, crisis management, and sustainable tourism practices, Henry is not just a guide - he’s a dependable field expert and cultural ambassador. His presence on any safari ensures more than just sightings; it guarantees a deeper, more meaningful connection to Kenya’s wild places and the people who call them home.
