At a glance

This safari is premeditated to favour the hearts of the bird lovers, but candidly would one be precise to signpost where to see which bird(s). Well, as for where to see Kenya’s birdlife, the Masai Mara’s big five are regularly greeted with small yet colourful Rosy-throated Longclaws and the long tails of Magpie Shrikes, whilst Samburu’s rare Shining Sunbird is certainly one of the best megaticks to find. A collection of endemic birds makes Kenya a sanctuary for avoid bird watchers, including the Clarke’s Weaver and William’s Lark. Meanwhile, Kenya’s diverse sceneries are home to the second highest number of species in Africa, and you’ll find a variety all year round. Twitchers with a myriad of wallows, terns and waders on their list should endeavor to visit between October and February, whilst those searching for weavers and bishops will love travelling through the country between June and July. If you’re hoping to see a flurry of fuchsia pink flamingos you’re best visiting Lake Nakuru National Park the drier months of January and February. Higher levels of rainfall lead to less algae, and so these elegant creatures much prefer to flock to this soda lake when the water is shallow, food is plentiful, and the landscapes are dry.
