Tailor-Made Kenya Birding with Adarsh Nagda
Private, tailor-made birding guidance from Nairobi and across Kenya with birder, conservationist and photographer Adarsh Nagda.
About this tour
Explore Kenya with Adarsh Nagda, a Nairobi-based birder, conservationist and wildlife photographer with first-hand experience of 900 bird species in Kenya. His private, tailor-made guiding experiences range from half-day and full-day birding around Nairobi to longer journeys across Kenya in search of your target species.
Every itinerary is customized around your interests, target birds, preferred pace and budget. Whether you are a serious lister, photographer, first-time visitor to Africa or simply interested in discovering Kenya's birdlife, the experience can be adapted to you. His private, tailor-made trips go beyond the classic birding sites and standard tourist routes. Whether searching for a particular target species, exploring lesser-known habitats or visiting Kenya's major birding hotspots, each itinerary draws on Adarsh's personal field experience and knowledge of the country's birdlife.
Nairobi day trips offer excellent birding and a wide variety of habitats, while longer tours can explore Kenya's exceptional forests, wetlands, mountains, savannahs and coast. Transport, accommodation, group size, inclusions and pricing are arranged according to your chosen itinerary through a BirdWatch enquiry.
Please note that many of Kenya's most sought-after specialties occur in specific regions. Coastal, Western and Taita Hills endemics and specialties require dedicated longer routes.
