Chris, known as The Unique Naturalist, is an individual who has an unmatched passion for nature. This passion began at a young age while growing up in the Taita Hills in the northern end of the Eastern Arc Mountains, renowned for its endemism. His educationist parents and mentoring by Mother Nature enabled him to develop a keen and observant eye, and an inquisitive mind that allows him to discover new things with each interaction with nature.

Chris is an ardent reader of natural history, works such as Origin of Species, Mendelian Theory, Darwinism, Modern Evolutionary Synthesis, and Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, making him an expert on natural phenomena, both in the field and in theory.

Furthermore, his Anthropology knowledge gives him insight into African ethnicity, ancient African civilisations, and the pre- and post-colonial social, political and economic status of Africa. His knowledge of geology also helps in describing the beautiful landscapes of East Africa and other celestial bodies.

Chris’s primary motivation is community and conservation, as he sees it as an integral part of sustainable ecotourism.

He goes by different names such as Nature Encyclopedia, Nature geek, Captain in the field. To summarize, Chris is someone who is devoted to and passionate about nature and is always willing to share his knowledge with others who share the same passion.
