Chief Guide
My name is Evans Mwangi and I am your Chief Guide. This is my wife, Trisa, and our daughter, Michelle.
I was born on 6th March 1971 in Central Kenya, East Africa in a village on the slopes of Mt Kenya that is mainly comprised of peasants. Both my parent were small scale farmers doing subsistence farming to raise our family. I completed school in 1988.
In early 1989, I joined Kenya Guides and Porters Club in Naromoru at the base of Mt Kenya where I started working as a porter. After a year I was promoted to a trainee guide and I took an Outward Bound Course. I became a fully certified guide in 1990. I continued working us a guide until 1995 when I did an Outdoor Leadership Course organized by the National Outdoor Leadership School ( NOLS) and began practicing privately as a professional guide. I am proud to be one of the 10 best guides recognized by the Mount Kenya Guides and Porters Club.
I offer a more personalized service to climbers with no middlemen involved. Apart from that I always insist on knowing my clients and meeting them personally so that we make room for variations if special requests are made.
All the helpers I work with are well qualified, experienced people of good conduct and character and most of them speak English well. On languages, apart from my native tongue Kikuyu, I also speak fluent English, Kiswahili and Spanish. I believe that it's through the challenges that you climbers offer us that make our service provision better every passing day. Go ahead and give us that challenge!!
