Kenya is a haven for bird lovers, boasting over 470 recorded bird species across its national parks. From the shores of Lake Nakuru teeming with flamingos to the dense forests of Mount Kenya, the country offers diverse habitats that attract both resident and migratory birds. Birdwatching safaris can be tailored to include expert guides who specialize in identifying species and understanding their behaviors.
Parks like Samburu and Lake Nakuru are hotspots for bird photography, thanks to their variety and the accessibility of the birds. Early morning excursions are best for sightings, and many eco-lodges provide binoculars and field guides to enhance your experience. Birdwatching isn’t just a passive activity—it’s a captivating way to connect with Kenya’s ecosystem and gain a deeper appreciation for its rich biodiversity.
