To be precise, Birdwatching East Africa, is a small, locally owned safari company specializing in both custom-made birdwatching, wildlife photography, botany, prehistory among all-round natural history safaris for private groups and set departures in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Run by avid birders, field ornithologists, botanist and all-around naturalists, photographers and conservationists. The guides are out on safari with you to share not only the rich avian diversity but the entire natural history, may it be prehistory, butterflies, reptiles, cultures or big mammals as usual.

One of our clients wrote:

“Hi Philis and everyone at Birdwatching East Africa,
I have just arrived back at my computer after 4 weeks in Madagascar, after leaving you in Nairobi. I just wanted to email, to say thanks very much for a brilliant trip to Kenya. The arrangements that you made were perfect and we enjoyed very much the company of Peter, who was a brilliant driver and guide for our entire trip. Thanks also to Edson for all the time he spent with us and especially for all the help in Kakamega and to Chege for two great days of birding right at the end. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would definitely book up with you for another trip, possibly to coastal Kenya and Tsavo or to Uganda or Tanzania next year. Watch this space! Thanks again and keep in touch .”

247 species of birds in 3 days, 412 species in 8 days with just but a little rush or no rush are all part of our well tailored birding trips.

And above that a Citrus Butterfly, a Mascarene Rocket Frog, a Red-headed Rock Agama among the Big Five frequently does fill our safari gaps making our trips no longer bird tours but natural history safaris.

While for every client who comes along with us, 10 to 40 indigenous trees are planted and tended to rehabilitate our lost forests among other conservation work we support like teaching rural communities on how to make the fireless cookers.
