Bird Watching Expeditions

Kenya & Tanzania

Overview

East Africa shelters over 1,100 avian species—from the flamboyant lilac-breasted roller to the mighty martial eagle—making it one of the planet's ultimate birding destinations. Join an expert ornithologist as dawn breaks over the Great Rift Valley lakes, where millions of flamingos paint the shoreline in electric pink. Venture into the highland forests of the Aberdares to spot the elusive Narina trogon, then scan the Mara skies for soaring bateleur eagles. With specialised optics, detailed checklists, and a pace tuned to patience, every outing is a kaleidoscope of colour, song, and discovery.

For bird enthusiasts, East Africa is nothing short of legendary. Our specialized expeditions are guided by ornithologists who can identify everything from the shimmering sunbirds to the massive martial eagles.

Visit the Great Rift Valley lakes, where millions of flamingos paint the shores pink, or the dense forests of western Kenya, home to rare endemics. Whether you're a serious 'twitcher' looking for life-list species or a casual observer of nature's beauty, our birding safaris offer a kaleidoscope of color and song.
