The real reason I'll be in Africa is not to climb Kilimanjaro, its to go on a birding tour through a rich diversity of habitats that also happen to have most of the large African mammals. After birding for almost 30 yrs I have slowly built up a life list of about 1200 bird species seen in the US, Europe, Japan and Mexico. But I've never been to the prime birding areas of Central America, South America, or Africa. So this tour just struck me as a great first chance to see both African birds and mammals on my first trip to Africa. I am hoping to see maybe 400+ new species, a 30% increase in Life Birds in just a 3 week tour, it will be a challenge to remember them all. And of course the tour will always be on the look out for the big predators and prey animals found in Africa.
The tour is designed with birding in mind, only 6 participants traveling across Tanzania and Kenya in an open topped van so we always have 360 degree visibility and, we are reasonably safe form too close interactions with the wildlife.
If you'd like details of the trip it can be found on the Field Guides web site:
