Quality birding tour with knowledgeable and passionate professional birding and wildlife guides
My husband and I just finished a 15-day private birding tour in Kenya (Western Circuit) with Wide Birding Eco Tour. We had the pleasure of being guided by 2 marvelous bird guides, Davis Kibuga and James Apolloh Omenya. We birded in 8 National Parks/Reserves throughout southwestern Kenya and logged almost 400 bird species in addition to many mammals and reptiles. Our guides not only knew the birds, they also knew the mammals and plants. Apolloh, in particular, not only knew every bird along our routes by name, he also knew all the bird calls and where to find them. Many times we would stop at specific locations, sometimes along a highway, to call for a specific species and the bird would come. It was uncanny! To see our guides consult books and discuss about birds was fascinating. Their passion for birding was apparent and truly contagious.
Our trip was well organized from beginning to end. (Even before the trip, Davis was prompt in answering any question/concern we had so we felt very safe traveling with him.) Though the travel times between the National Parks/Reserves were long and the roads at times bumpy, we were not bored as we stopped along the way to log more species. At some birding sites, we were joined by a local birding guide who showed us the specialties at that site. We felt extra special as there were 3 guides for the two of us. Considered the superb guiding and mostly mid-range accommodations and food, we believe this budget-friendly tour was of very good value.
We were impressed not only by their knowledge and enthusiasm about birds and other wildlife but by the way our guides carried themselves. In addition to his work as a birding and wildlife guide, Davis also supports the children in the communities along the routes he travels as well as in his own community in Uganda. As his guests, we were given the opportunity to bring along used clothes and toys which we would distribute to children along our routes. Davis also uses these opportunities to educate the children about the importance of birds and conservation at these stops. In addition to the birds of Kenya, we have learned a great deal from our guides about the culture and life in East Africa. Thank you, Davis and Apolloh, for a well-planned and rewarding trip. We look forward to returning one day to bird in Uganda and Eastern Kenya with you again.

Incredible Experience
Very nice experience! We left from September 7 to 12, 2024 as a couple with nights in a tent. Our guide Ilias was great, kind, warm and very experienced in finding the right animal spots! The meals are great with chef Salim, pancake, fresh fruit, omelette in the morning and rice, legs, chicken, vegetables for lunch and dinner. The nights are cool, we recommend taking warm clothes and a good quality sleeping bag because even if provided, yours will surely be cleaner and warmer. We made a dream come true, the animals are magnificent and everything is perfectly organized, and no worries with Suricata Safari.

Thank you also for all your help in getting our bags back when our airline Saudi Airlines left us without luggage for 5 days!
