One of the most important birdwatching locations that you wouldn’t want to miss off your bucket list is still Uganda. Given that Uganda is home to more than 1080 different bird species, 25 different Albertine endemic species, five different birding habitats, and five birds per square kilometer, you simply cannot leave it out of your birding plans. In fact, if you go above and beyond to go birding in Uganda, you will be enchanted by the variety of birds you see, as the country is home to 50% of Africa’s birds and roughly 10% of the world’s birds.
Kenya! For both birds and big game (along with all the little mammals, of course), this is one of the most thrilling countries on earth. We typically don’t race and prefer to spend enough time with each species, so we don’t try to fill our list with a lot of “glimpse only” or “heard only” birds, but we often encounter well over 600 bird species on a three-week Kenyan birding tour.
African Elephant, Hippopotamus, Giraffe, Plains Zebra, and Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, and Blue Wildebeest (on migration in the Masai Mara if your tour is timed right when these beasts haven’t crossed the Tanzanian border into the Serengeti) can all be seen while building up an enormous bird list (and enjoying the birds seen rather than racing from one bird to the next).
Senior birdwatching in Kenya
Kenya is a well-liked safari location in Africa. Kenya’s traditional safari terrain, plenty of iconic safari wildlife, stunning mountains, and close proximity to tropical beaches make it the perfect safari destination. Have you ever heard of a birding safari in Kenya? We’ve all heard of the Big Five safaris in Amboseli, the Masai Mara, and Samburu.
Kenya is one of only 15 nations in the world that can say that. With 1,154 known species, Kenya is second only to Tanzania and the inaccessible Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Kenya’s remarkable bird population is a result of its diverse topography. Kenya’s elevation difference from sea level to about 1500 meters (about 4921 feet) before descending into the Great Rift Valley is what gives the country its diverse topography. These diverse ecosystems include the huge savannah grasslands of the Masai Mara, the alpine habitats of Mount Kenya, and the drier desert scrub to the north in Samburu and the area surrounding Lake Turkana.
Senior birdwatching in Tanzania
More than 1,388 different species of birds call Tanzania home permanently, and many more migrate through the country on their route to and from Europe and Southern Africa, making it one of the top places in the world for birdwatchers. From the enormous Marshall eagle to the small sunbird, the elusive Shoebill to the ubiquitous Marabou, there is a great diversity of birds to observe.
