East Africa is one of the richest bird areas in the world. With a wealth of different habitats, often close to each other, it's quite easy to spot over 100 species in one day.
Although many of the birds are brightly colored and exotic looking, they are generally quite easily recognized; within a day or two you will be identifying the various species with ease! Their main habitats include water, open plains, woodlands and farmlands.
On or near water, you will find bright pink flamingos, hammerkops, iridescent kingfishers, plovers, herons, storks, geese, cranes, jacanas and of course the magnificent African fish eagle. In certain places along the Kenyan coast, there are breeding pairs of osprey as well.
We specialise in off the beaten track walking. A few of our walks, such as the walk on the Ngong Hills may be as short as just a couple of hours. Most of our other walks are full expeditions, going into the more remote areas of Kenya, and may last a week or more.
All walks on Mt. Kenya and Kilimanjaro are done via non tourist tracks. We will not ascend Mt Kenya via the Naro Moru side, nor Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route. On these two mountains however we do use support from porters and additional local guides as required. In other mountains, due to the remoteness and beauty of those areas, we tend to be totally independent of additional assistance and carry everything ourselves.
