Kenya Birding and Big Game
Adult Trip

Program Location: Africa
Leaders: Chris Leahy, Bertrand Chair of Natural History
Fee: TBD
Dates: October 30, 2010-November 13, 2010

This itinerary captures the essence of the classic East African safari, encompassing the cool green Aberdare highlands and Mt. Kenya, the spare beauty of the arid Samburu country, the incomparable vastness of the Serengeti grasslands and (in a 6 day extension) the majestic crater highlands of Tanzania.

These are the places that rise in your imagination when you think of Africa and its wildlife. The birding will be memorable, while the variety of habitats give us the opportunity to observe all of the “essential” African mammals: Lion, African Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippopotamus, Spotted Hyena, a stunning variety of antelopes - from the graceful little Thompson’s Gazelle to the imposing Eland – and, (with a little luck) Leopard. We have timed our visit to coincide with the great migrations of the Widebeest and other plains herbivores and the predators and scavengers that follow their legions, which lends extra drama to our daily explorations and discoveries.
