KENYA BIRD WATCHING SAFARIS & TOURS
Favorite birding destination for great birders of our time and in fact some of them like Phoebe Snetsinger voted Kenya as her best birding destination in the world for its “spectacular” and “easily seen” birds.
We are intent on providing our customers with a thoroughly worthwhile experience in which they not only see as many birds as possible but also take away new knowledge on such ornithology subjects as migration, identification, moult/ageing and fieldcraft on the birding tour of a lifetime.
Birding safaris in Kenya offered by Silent-fliers-of-Kenya are designed in such a way that it will allow our clients the opportunity to sample our unique rich birdlife in terms of their geographical distribution and habitat. Ranging from fragment of tropical rain and montane forest, fresh water, semi-alkaline and alkaline lakes located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, semi arid bushes and the sweeping savannas. All these habitats combined together provide you with the most memorable birding safari you have ever had! Our birding tour leaders are local residents with ornithology expertise and have great experience in leading birding groups around Kenya. They assist the guest in sorting out bird identification, location and navigating the birding sites. At Silent-fliers-of-Kenya Safaris, we prefer watching the birds at our guests’ pace hence; improving on quality viewing and accurate identification of species, from over 1100 bird species we have in Kenya. Depending on the Kenya birding route that you choose, the number of species seen ranges from approximately, over 300 species for shorter birding tours and over 700 species for longer birding holidays.
Our Kenya birding tours are available in six routes that birders can choose from depending on their need and preferences and to maximize on species quantity, quality and diversity.
