Bird watching tourism makes gains in the Tsavo

Kenya: As the need to diversify tourism grows, due to low numbers, a section of coastal investors are now putting up luxurious facilities to spice up the sector. These include various hotels on the edge of the scenic Tsavo East National Park to promote bird watching tourism.

The area often sees migratory birds undertake some of the most daring journeys in the animal kingdom, often covering thousands of kilometres. The nature’s wonder has seen the growing fan base of these winged creatures present economic opportunities through sustainable tourism.
