Nairobi, 25 June 2025: When planning a trip to Nairobi, most people imagine vibrant markets, lively city streets, and the iconic Nairobi National Park—where lions roam against a dramatic urban skyline. But for nature lovers with a sharp eye, there’s another side to the city: it’s a paradise for bird watchers. With Javiva Adventures, Nairobi bird watching becomes a journey into a world of over 500 bird species—all within reach of the city.

A spokesperson from Javiva Adventures explains, “Nairobi may be one of Africa’s busiest capitals, but it is surrounded by rich natural habitats—grasslands, forests, wetlands, and rivers—creating the perfect environment for a wide variety of birds.” From vibrant sunbirds and majestic crowned cranes to rare forest dwellers, the city offers surprises for both seasoned birders and curious beginners.

Javiva’s guided tours are designed for every level of birdwatcher. Their experienced guides know exactly where to go to find different species, ensuring each outing is both productive and enjoyable. They also help visitors understand the behaviour, calls, and nesting habits of the birds they encounter.

One of the prime birding spots on their itinerary is Nairobi National Park. Just minutes from the city centre, it’s famous not only for its wildlife but also for over 400 species of birds, including the kori bustard, secretary bird, and lilac-breasted roller.

Another gem is Karura Forest—a peaceful woodland escape known for species like the African paradise flycatcher and Hartlaub’s turaco. Javiva often arranges early morning walks here, when birds are most active and the forest is alive with song.

For those interested in water birds, Ngong Road Forest Sanctuary and Nairobi Arboretum are rich with sightings of hamerkops, herons, and kingfishers.

But what makes a birding trip with Javiva Adventures truly special is the depth of the experience. It’s not just about spotting birds—it’s about understanding their role in the ecosystem and appreciating their beauty in a responsible, conservation-minded way. The tours also support local efforts to preserve habitats and raise awareness about bird conservation.

Whether you're equipped with high-end binoculars or simply exploring out of curiosity, Javiva ensures your Nairobi birding adventure is educational, enriching, and filled with wonder.
