Trails of Africa Birding Safaris

The variation in habitat across Kenya means that different areas of the country have very different bird lists, making it a fascinating part of the world for birders to visit. Since so much of the country is open grassland or bush the birds are also relatively easy to see. In Kenya, it is very impossible to get away from birds! Wherever you travel in this country, there is a huge diversity of birds.
