PyaSafari Bird watching

With the same attention to detail, PyaSafari can assist you in planning your trip to observe the world most exotic birds. Or any other nature interest you might have.

Both Kenya and Tanzania can be regarded as world’s best bird watch destinations! But few people know Kenya or Tanzania as a destination for birdwatchers: undeservedly so, because the country hosts over 1200 registered species. Scientists are of the opinion that many bird species are still waiting to be discovered or even recognized. Compare these figures to those in the Netherlands or Great Britain, and it soon becomes clear that Kenya and Tanzania are a true paradise for bird lovers.

Nature has provided East-Africa with every possible environment imaginable for birds. There are volcanic mountain tops covered with snow and lush vegetation lower down. There are also huge plains, desert areas, mangrove coastal swamps and huge coastal forests. Each environment offers birds a continuous food supply and contributes to Kenya’s unique character. East Africa has over 60 areas regarded as Important Bird Areas.

A vast majority of the native African birds live and breed all year long. Many hundreds of other species migrate from the northern hemisphere where winters are more severe. It is estimated that annually around 6 million birds migrate to Africa - all the way from the Bering Straits and Northern Scandinavia, Scotland and Siberia. It is remarkable to observe all these birds from close by.
