Kakamega and the Western Loop
Nine days from Nairobi to Lake Victoria and back, built around three sessions in Kakamega and a night at Baringo. 412 species, four Kenyan endemics, and the eremomela on the last morning.

Kenya · Tailor-made birding
with Adarsh Nagda
My goal is not simply to visit famous sites. Every day is planned strategically around habitats, target species, timing and local knowledge to give you the best possible birding experience.
Having explored Kenya extensively, I know where and when to look for the species that make Kenya special — which forest track the francolins walk at 06:30, which tide pushes the Crab-plovers close, and which remnant of Kinangop tussock still holds Sharpe's Longclaw this season.
Every day starts from your target list and works backwards — which habitat, which hour, which track. Famous sites appear only when they serve the list.
Papyrus species call for ninety minutes after dawn. Mida's waders come close two hours before high water. Getting there is easy; getting there at the right moment is the job.
The site guides at Arabuko-Sokoke, Kakamega and Baringo know individual roost trees. I work with them rather than around them, and they are paid properly for it.
I run trips at both ends of the price range and will tell you honestly which suits yours — including the days you do not need a guide at all.
Plate 04 — In their words
Replace this with a real client quote. Two to four sentences works best — what they were hoping for, what actually happened in the field, and the moment they still talk about. Specific beats effusive every time.
Send me your target species, your dates and how you like to bird. I will come back with a route built around them.
