Kenya is a must visit African country for keen bird watchers to explore the hidden secretes of wildlife and bird species.

Booking 7 Days Bird Watching Adventure Kenya can be done throughout the year however, the best time for this tour is from November to April because this is normally a breeding season and many bird species are in full plumage. This is also a good time to spot migrant birds from Europe and north Africa. Most interesting bird species are present all year around and therefore birding is good at any time. Although April is good for birding, it tends to be very wet, and less productive time for general game viewing.
