Birding In Kenya

Image
Kenya: The Coolest Trip in Africa $6460; single supplement $600 East Coast Extension: $4005; single supplement $400 This is a Birding Tour. It is designed to see as many birds as possible, while spending extra time on endemics and other target species. Photography is welcome as long as it doesn’t interfere with the birding, and this tour is quite good for casual photography. In some areas, there will be little or no time to photograph since there are other birds around to see. Some time will also be devoted to mammals and other wildlife in certain areas such as the Masai Mara Kenya offers Africa in a nutshell, from the soda-encrusted, flamingo-filled Rift Valley lakes to alpine Mt. Kenya and the western lowland forests at Kakamega. These habitats, combined with bird-rich savannas, Tsavo’s semi-deserts, Sokoke’s coastal forests, and of course, the parks that make it the world’s premier big mammal watching destination, make Kenya a perennial favorite in Africa.

Birding : Uganda and Rwanda: Shoebill and Albertine Rift Endemics (18 days)

Image
Despite being small and land-locked, Uganda supports more than 1000 species, which has earned this country its deserved reputation as a “birder’s Eden”. This tour explores papyrus swamps around Lake Victoria, the mountains of the Albertine Rift, the lower-elevation Congolese rainforests, and more stereotypically “African” savanna. We’ll look for one of the most epic of all African birds, the incredible Shoebill. This gray statuesque leviathan haunts papyrus swamps searching for lethargic lungfish. We also have chances of finding two of Africa’s most elusive and sought-after birds: the African Green or Grauer’s Broadbill in Bwindi National Park and the Green-breasted Pitta in Kibale National Park. These marquee species have a strong supporting cast of lowland rainforest species which are shared with Congo, a rich assemblage of Albertine Rift endemic birds, and a set of specialties that is mainly confined to the Lake Victoria drainage. Few countries can offer as much in such a smal...
