Kenya is a paradise for bird lovers, home to over 1,100 bird species, from dazzling sunbirds to majestic fish eagles. This 6-day birdwatching safari takes you through some of the country’s most productive birding hotspots from the open savannah of Nairobi National Park to the freshwater richness of Lake Naivasha and the bird haven of Lake Baringo. You’ll enjoy expert-guided walks, tranquil boat rides, and the chance to spot both rare residents and seasonal migratory birds.
