Bird Watching in Kenya
Bird Watching in Kenya ranks as one of best bird watching destinations anywhere in the world, where it is a magnet for hundreds of thousands of curious ornithological enthusiasts and twitchers. Kenya is also home to over 1,100 published bird species (more than 10 are endemic) and is the best bird-watching destination in Africa.
From the flamingo-thronged Rift Valley lakes to the savannah grasslands harbouring ostriches and secretary birds, and coastal forests that protect rare species such as Clarke’s weaver — each area comes with its own opportunities. Famous areas such as Lake Naivasha, Samburu, Amboseli and the Maasai Mara not only offer incredible wildlife sightings but are also excellent birding sites. Professional ornithologists and casual bird watchers are equally enchanted by the diversity of Kenya’s habitats and landscapes, providing an unforgettable bird watching experience.
