When I started this journey of visiting various tourist destinations, I discovered the beauty of nature when it comes to bird watching. Watching other animals such as buffaloes, elephants, and others in the list of the big five in Africa is now easy and almost obvious. A travel agency such as Olanka Safaris will easily get you enough of such adventures with nice packages at affordable prices. However, it is their zeal for Birding that amazed me with their professional guide Henry Ole Sanoe who has a whole checklist of birds in his memory. He will always leave you looking for more of these beautiful birds with his great experience and the professionalism in which he does his work. Many bird enthusiasts, both locals and international tourist who visits Nakuru must have known him.
Birding adventure is such a spectacular and fantastic experience in Lake Nakuru and Soysambu Conservancy. This can be noted even from the recent global Bird census that was carried out on May 14th, 2022 which put Kenya and Nakuru in particular on the top of the continent as bird habitats. With over 500 bird species recorded, Lake Nakuru prides itself as among the great bird-watching tourist destinations in Kenya. As a bird lover, when you visit Lake Nakuru you will enjoy interacting and watching the variety of bird species present in the soda lake. The famous "pink" flamingoes which are always covering the lake will capture your attention and make your bird watching fun and enjoyable. You will also get a chance to view other common bird species like the great white pelican birds, greater Blue-eared starling, greater flamingo, lesser flamingo, and Hottentot teal. Interestingly most of the bird species are present throughout the year, this, therefore, means that one can plan his bird watching adventure any time of the year. There is however an opportune birding period during the short rains that happen in November and December. This is when most species are in breeding plumage.
Soysambu conservancy covers the larger part of Lake Elementaita and this is where most of the bird species are found. The environment here is cool and uninterrupted making it the best habitat for birds. It does have other animals like lions, giraffes, hyenas, leopards, jackals, and zebras but it is the best for bird watching. Olanka safaris- the best tour company operating from Nakuru is best suited to serve you here.
