Option Beach

The coast of Kenya offers excellent opportunities to watch and study different species of birds, especially migratory birds that can be found even in Europe during their migration. The option for extra 3-5-7 days on the coast is available on all itineraries.
Main locations on the coast are Mombasa, Malindi, Lamu, Diani Beach, Watamu, Tiwi. We especially recommend Watamy and Mida Creek where you will assist a famous ornithologist in counting and studying over 100 species of birds.
