Bird Watching in Kenya

Bird Watching in Kenya

Kenya has over 1,000 bird species, from fish eagles on Lake Naivasha to waders on Mida Creek.

Kenya is one of Africa鈥檚 top birding countries, and November to March is the best time: migrant birds from Europe and Asia join the resident species.

Amboseli鈥檚 swamps, Lake Naivasha and Mida Creek in Watamu are all excellent. Samburu has dry-country specials such as the vulturine guineafowl.

Tips

  • November鈥揗arch is peak season for migrant birds.
  • Bring binoculars and a field guide app.
  • Tell us you are a birder and we will brief your guide.

Over 400 species, including pelicans and flamingos on the seasonal lake.
