BIRDING TOURS IN KENYA

Best Time to Visit

To optimize on the high numbers the best time for birding is between October and April when more than 100 Palearctic migrant bird species have arrived from the northern hemisphere. From April to October the northern migrants are replaced by birds from the southern hemisphere and Madagascar, but these are much fewer, no more than 60 or 65 bird species.

Kenya's Rarest, Indigenious Birds

To see Kenya’s rarest, indigenous and unfortunately endangered birds, the bird enthusiast needs to seek out forests or highland grasslands tucked away amongst various farmlands. Arabuko-Sokoke Forest near Malindi, tops the list, with the six threatened bird species of the Sokoke Scops Owl, Sokoke Pipit, Spotted Ground Thrush, EastCoast Akalat, Amani Sunbird and Clarke’s Weaver.

Forest ‘Islands’

The forest “islands” at the top of the Taita Hills, near Voi, is home to the beautiful but critically endangered Taita Thrush and Taita Apalis, as well as the endangered Taita White-eye.
