Bird Watching Trips for Birdwatchers (and Everyone Else!) - Reconnect with Yourself and Nature

Let's be honest, everyday life can feel like a constant mix of never-ending noises – honking cars, ringing phones, and the constant craziness of the city. But what if you could swap that for a symphony of nature's finest musicians? Birds

Bird watching isn't just about ticking species off a list. It's a chance to reconnect with nature, a form of mindfulness that allows you to de-stress and recharge. The Aberdare Ranges, with the stunning scenery and fresh mountain air, provide the perfect backdrop for a holistic wellness experience. This region boasts over 500 bird species, each with its own unique call and dazzling plumage. From the vibrant Hartlaub's Turaco with its electric blue crest to the elusive Sharpe's Longclaw, a critically endangered resident, every sighting is a thrill. 

Our experienced guides can help you identify these feathered friends, sharing their fascinating behaviors and ecological roles. Our location, just 65km from the park in the charming village of Mathioya, in Murang'a County, provides a unique opportunity to witness a stunning array of feathered friends right from our doorstep. Whether you're a seasoned birder with a keen eye or a curious nature enthusiast, our resident birding experts can guide you on personalized excursions.

Imagine:

• Starting your day with a gentle walk through our lush grounds, accompanied by the melodious calls of sunbirds, weavers, and the forest leaves.
• Relaxing on your private balcony, sipping a cup of Kenyan coffee while observing a vibrant flock of weavers flitting between the trees.
• Joining an expert-led birdwatching tour, venturing deeper into the surrounding areas to discover hidden gems of the avian world.

For the dedicated birder, a guided safari into Aberdare National Park can be arranged. Explore the diverse landscapes, from dense forests to expansive moorlands, alongside experienced guides who can help you identify diverse species of these feathered friends. And even if you visit outside peak migratory seasons, the resident birds will ensure a delightful birding experience.

Beyond the birds, a wellness sanctuary awaits. This isn't just a haven for birds; it's a haven for your well-being. Breathe in the fresh mountain air, a stark contrast to the city's chaos. Immerse yourself in the calming rhythm of nature. Unwind with a book or meditation sessions in our tranquil settings. This is your chance to:

• Disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with yourself.
• Rediscover the simple joys of nature's beauty.
• Return from your escape feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to tackle life's challenges.
