Description

Tour Highlights

Nairobi National Park makes a great destination for birders, as more than 500 species have been recorded here. The park’s substantial area of undisturbed grassland is of great importance for bird species such as the restricted-range Jackson’s widowbird, which breeds here regularly after good rains. Other grassland birds include ostriches, secretary birds and bustards. On this trip, besides bird-watching, they is ample opportunity to enjoy other game animals like lion, zebra, giraffe, Rhino and more.

Best time of the Year for bird watching at Nairobi National Park
Nairobi NP offers good bird watching throughout the year, but the best time is from November to April when the migrants from Europe and north Africa are present.

Many species are nesting at this time as it coincides with breeding season. The spectacular Jackson’s widowbird displays from March to May. Although good for birding, April tends to be very wet and is a less productive time for general wildlife viewing.
