Birding Safari Reviews

What birders say about their East Africa experience

"Seeing the Shoebill in Mabamba was a lifelong dream. Our guide found it within 30 minutes. We logged 347 species in 10 days — incredible!"
Richard & Anne B.
Cornwall, UK
"The Albertine Rift endemics in Bwindi blew my mind. Grauer's Broadbill, African Green Broadbill — species I never thought I'd see. Nature Nest knows their birds."
Hans W.

"As a bird photographer, the hides and timing were perfect. Got stunning shots of the Grey Crowned Crane and dozens of raptors. Highly recommend."
