KENIA 2008


IN JULY 2008 WE MADE A SECOND TRIP TO KENIA.
THIS TIME ORGANIZED BY STICHTING VOGELREIZEN, A DUTCH BIRDING TRAVEL ORGANIZATION.
TOURLEADER WAS JANUS VERKERK, WITH WHOM WE MADE ALREADY SEVERAL OTHER TRIPS.
THE TWO BIRDGUIDES FROM BIRDWATCHING EAST AFRICA ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
CHEGE WA KARIUKI AND MARTIN ODINO DID A VERY GOOD JOB, EVEN OUR DRIVER PETER SPOTTED MANY BIRDS.

Een geweldige serie zoals altijd! Ik wou dat ik naast je had gestaan toen je de Red- headed bluebill op de korrel had! Wat een genot...

Opnieuw grote klasse. Painted snipes, Pygmy falcon en Red- headed bluebill springen er uit voor mij. Complimenten
