Bird Watching is good all year round in East Africa although some of the top daily totals have been recorded in April and May when the rainy season coincides with our bargain Bird Watching safaris and the migration of Intra-African species and birds to and from Europe and Asia.

Visits to a variety of habitats such as semi-arid Tsavo, Meru and Samburu Parks, the grasslands of the Maasai Mara and Serengeti National Park, the Great Rift Valley Lakes or coastal forests will find even the ardent twitcher scratching around for binoculars while a visit to coastal Arabuko Sokoke forest or Kakamega Rain Forest in Western Kenya will reveal some of Kenya's most unusual bird species.

Where time is constraint, a surprisingly wide variety of habitats can be visited on day trips from either Nairobi, Mombasa or Arusha. A full day in Arusha or Nairobi Park will often tally over 100 species.
