PARADISE LOST BIRDING TOUR
Our famous Paradise Lost Birding Tour takes place at this amazing farm, full of spectacular birding habitats- from wetlands, forest to farmland. We shall start from Nairobi and head to the farm, with several birding stops on the way. At the farm, we shall enjoy birding the coffee farm, the local gardens, the wetlands and the surrounding forest.
At the farm are a series of breathtaking caves believed to be from the Old Stone Age. These caves host local bats and you may explore the caves safely and enjoy learning about their history. The local waterfall is also a site to enjoy.
The farm is also home to a successful coffee plantation and you will enjoy many birds around the farm. You may also visit the local coffee factory to learn how the crop is processed.
We shall then return to Nairobi, with birding on the way, marking the end to our lovely Paradise Lost Birding Tour.
