We have now taken well over 50 tours to Kenya, carrying hundreds of clients to this paradise for the birdwatcher and naturalist. There can be few countries in the world where one can so easily see so many colourful and exotic species of bird and mammal. Many people yearn to return to see new areas and to renew their acquaintance with the wildlife. This new itinerary is designed to take in some areas we have not visited for some time, and to give us the chance of encountering some scarce and interesting birds and mammals. The sites we visit include Tsavo, the Sokoke-Arubuko Forest, Mida Creek near Malindi and Shimba Hills. At the end of the tour we shall fly back from the coast, thus removing a long road transfer. The tour will coincide with the arrival of many species of migrants in their wintering grounds, and these will augment an avifauna that is already extremely rich. We also have a very good chance of seeing some excellent game animals, including Leopard, Lion, Elephant and both Roan and Sable Antelopes. The holiday will visit a superb mixture of habitats - acacia woodland, lowland savannah, dry scrubland, coastal forest, freshwater lakes, mangrove swamp, tidal mudflat and coral reef. Travel with Tony to explore Tsavo and the coast and see why Kenya is always such a great birding destination.
