LAKE VICTORIA KISUMU BIRDING DAY TOUR
On the Lake Victoria Kisumu Birding Day Tour we shall be visiting this beautiful birding destination located on the shores on Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest fresh-water lake. Lake Victoria is also the second-largest fresh-water lake in the World.
The water here is fresh with lots of life and the local riparian zone will be our major target. We shall bird here on foot as we seek the local birds. We shall also take a boat ride with our professional crew as we seek birds deeper into the lake and the inner swamps.
We shall then head back home or to the hotel; marking the end to our great Lake Victoria Kisumu Birding Day Tour.
