Overview

Follow Birds on their Migration Routes in East Africa

Our quintessential Africa bird watching safari experiences take place in the to vast wilderness, combined with impressive quality of guiding and diversity of species. Among the most impressive of the continent’s innumerable wildlife spectacles are the flamingos on Rift Valley lakes, water birds in deltas, rivers and lakes of Africa to raptors on open plains. Africa really does impress with its birding holidays and it is not unusual to record more than 70 species in a day.

Seeing more diversity in bird species is all about changing habitat. In general, for birders we recommend, it’s better to spend longer in each park to avoid missing birds and animals and we offer activities in the best light so you get outstanding sightings. 

Twitchers may prefer to keep on the move, visiting as many different national parks and likely bird habitats as possible logistically with given timeframes and budgets
