You do not always need a long journey to find a different rhythm. Nairobi’s birding circuit brings forest walks and wildlife encounters within reach of a day excursion.
Karura Forest offers a leafy setting for an unhurried introduction to birding. Ngong Road Forest adds a different mix of upland forest and birds from the surrounding habitats.
For a highland excursion, Gatamaiyu takes you towards the southern slopes of the Aberdare Range, through indigenous forest and river valleys.
Nairobi National Park brings open landscapes into the picture. A guided visit can combine birding with wildlife viewing, with park entry and vehicle arrangements discussed separately.
