Meet
Moses Kamau
Our Trip Leaders
Background
Moses Kamau joined Adventure Alternative back in the late 90’s as a driver for our smaller safari min-vans and 4×4’s, establishing himself as a firm favourite with the other staff, children that we were working with and supporting at that time and with our visitors to Kenya who could clearly see the wealth of knowledge that he possessed for the wildlife, National Parks and Game Reserves across Kenya.
Having spent over a year living wild in Samburu Game Reserve, working as a guide, chef and managing a tented camp, there were few other people around at that time who had the experience of Kamau and his outgoing, fun-loving personality fitted in perfectly with the rest of the Adventure Alternative Kenya team. For us it was not just about getting someone with the knowledge that Kamau possessed on to the team, he is also an exceptional driver and many have witnessed him driving through rivers in National Parks in 2-wheel drive vehicles, passing 4×4’s that are stuck on the way!
Kamau lives on his farm in Naivasha with his wife and 4 children and continues to mentor and share his knowledge with our younger safari guides, drivers and cooks. He’s probably the only man you’ll ever see on Mount Kenya carrying 2 x plastic bags for his kit rather than a ruck-sack!!
