Birdwatching safaris

East Africa is a birding paradise, with over 1,100 species across Kenya and Tanzania alone. From the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Nakuru to the raptor-rich skies above the Serengeti, every habitat reveals avian wonders.

Top Birding Destinations

Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria (flamingos and over 450 species), Kakamega Forest (rare Central African species at Kenya's only tropical rainforest), the Masai Mara (500+ species including martial eagles and secretary birds), and Lake Baringo (470+ species).

Signature Species

The lilac-breasted roller (Kenya's unofficial national bird), African fish eagle, crowned crane, superb starling, secretarybird, and the iconic shoebill stork in Uganda's wetlands.

When to Visit

November-April during the migration season when Palearctic migrants visit, boosting species counts dramatically. October is excellent for both resident and early migrant species.

What We Provide

Expert ornithologist guides, quality binoculars and spotting scopes, bird checklists, and vehicles with roof hatches for optimal viewing angles.

Whether you're a serious twitcher or a casual birder, we design bespoke birding safaris tailored to your bucket-list species.
