Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need binoculars?
Your guide will have a spotting scope. Bringing your own binoculars (8x42 recommended) enhances the experience but is not mandatory.
When is the best time for birding in Kenya?
Year-round — resident species are always present. November to April adds Eurasian and Palearctic migrants, significantly increasing species counts.
