点评:Sam at Sustainable Birding Company put together an excellent custom birding itinerary (16-26 Oct 2023) for us that traversed several lakes in the great Rift Valley, Kakamega Forest, Lake Victoria, and the Masai Mara. Paul was our super bird guide that drove and accompanied us at all these fantastic locations. Through sight and sound he found us over 400 species of wonderful birds, from the tiny African Pygmy Kingfisher to the giant Lappet-faced Vulture. Some of the many highlights were
+ Floating peacefully over the waters of Lakes Naivasha, Baringo, and Victoria, as we spotted Nile monitors, crocodiles, hippos, and countless Pied and Malachite Kingfishers, Goliath Herons, and Fish Eagles
+ Hiking through the acacias and cacti at Tumbili Cliff, where baboons, vervet, and hyrex clambered along the cliffs, being hunted by Verreaux's Eagles
+ Driving through the Masai Mara in an open-topped safari van watching a lioness take down a warthog, a pair of cheetahs strolling in front of us, and a spotted hyena loping along with a wildebeest leg in its jaws
I can't recommend enough this great birding (and natural history) tour led by a personable and knowledgeable guide--an excellent way to see the wildlife of Kenya!
翻译:Sustainable Birding Company 的 Sam 为我们设计了一条出色的定制观鸟行程(2023 年 10 月 16 日至 26 日),穿越大裂谷、卡卡梅加森林、维多利亚湖和马赛马拉的多个湖泊。保罗是我们的超级鸟类导游,他开车并陪伴我们参观了所有这些美妙的地方。通过视觉和听觉,他为我们发现了 400 多种奇妙的鸟类,从小型的非洲侏儒翠鸟到巨大的秃鹫。其中一些亮点是
+ 平静地漂浮在奈瓦沙湖、巴林戈湖和维多利亚湖的水面上,我们看到了尼罗河巨蜥、鳄鱼、河马以及无数的斑翠鸟和孔雀石翠鸟、巨鹭和鱼鹰
+ 徒步穿越 Tumbili 悬崖的金合欢树和仙人掌,狒狒、长尾黑颚猴和蹄兔沿着悬崖攀爬,被维罗鹰猎杀
+ 乘坐敞篷旅行车穿过马赛马拉,观看母狮击倒疣猪,一对猎豹在我们面前漫步,还有一只嘴里叼着角马腿的斑鬣狗大步向前
我极力推荐这个由风度翩翩且知识渊博的导游带领的精彩观鸟(和自然历史)之旅——这是观赏肯尼亚野生动物的绝佳方式!
