Custom Birding Itineraries in East Africa

No two birders are alike—some chase rare forest endemics, others seek flocks of flamingos, while photographers crave perfectly-lit shots at golden hour. At Twinspot, our Custom Birding Itineraries are designed around you.

How It Works

• Let us know your target species, interests (e.g. Albertine Rift endemics, Afro‑tropical migrants, raptors), travel window, and travel style.
  
• We craft an itinerary combining national parks, reserves, wetlands and forests—timed to align with migrations, breeding behavior, and breeding plumage peaks.
  

Sample Routes

• Forest & Endemics Focus: Kakamega (Great Blue Turaco), Bwindi (African Green Broadbill), Nyungwe (Green-breasted Pitta), Mgahinga (Rwenzori Turaco), Kibale wetlands (Flufftails, kingfishers) Africa Adventure Vacations+3Wide Wild Safaris+3kagerasafaris.com+3chigotours.com+1EcoQuest Safaris+1.

• Raptor & Savannah: Masai Mara rush hours for eagles, Kori Bustards, Secretary Birds; combined with Amboseli and Amboseli cultural routes.
  

Why Customize?

• Avoid crowded tour routes to allow more bird time, slower travel, and optional side-excursions (like Hot air balloons over Mara or Batwa community visits in Bwindi).
  
• Include photography supports (e.g., blinds, early starts, longer stops), or personal interests like local culture, chimp tracking, or gorilla permits.
  
• Combine countries seamlessly—maybe Kenya sunrise, Uganda’s gorillas, then Rwanda’s endemics or Umusambi cranes.
  

Custom itineraries ensure flexibility, whether you’re visiting for 7 days or 21, solo or in a group, and help you maximize sightings of key species.
