Kenya: Amboseli Birdwatching Safari with Transfers

  • Kenya
  • • Wildlife & Nature
  • • Duration 9 hour

Description

Discover the remarkable birdlife of Amboseli National Park on a guided birdwatching safari through one of Kenya’s most important bird habitats. Begin with pickup from your selected lodge or camp and enter the park in a safari 4×4 vehicle with an experienced birding guide. Travel slowly through Amboseli’s diverse habitats, including open grasslands, acacia woodland, marshes and wetland areas, stopping at suitable locations to observe and photograph birds in their natural environment.

Amboseli is an Important Bird Area and has recorded more than 400 bird species, including numerous raptors and waterbirds. During the safari, look for African fish eagles, flamingos, pelicans, kingfishers, bee-eaters, Egyptian geese, secretarybirds, grey-crowned cranes, vultures and other resident and migratory species. Your guide helps identify birds by appearance and calls while explaining their behaviour, habitat, feeding patterns and conservation importance. Seasonal conditions can bring additional migratory species to the park.

The safari also provides opportunities to observe elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes and other wildlife while moving between birding locations. On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro creates an exceptional backdrop for photography. After the final birdwatching stop, continue through the park or return to your lodge, completing a rewarding wildlife and birding experience in the Amboseli ecosystem.
