*   Increase the number of visitors using professional bird guides

*   Share knowledge in order to enhance each member’s ability to do the best job possible

To achieve its aims LABGAS members subscribe to a Constitution which includes a Code of Conduct and Good Practice and also remit a percentage of their fee income to their association for the purposes of marketing and training.

OUR SERVICES

 

We aim to provide presisely what the visitor wants in terms of guided walks to the many interesting locations in an around Lake Baringo. As a matter of course the visitor will be shown an array of interesting birds, including species of raptor, barbets, weavers and likely owls. Insects and reptiles including snakes, scorpions, species of lizard and butterflies will also be pointed out and may be photographed.

Walks are normally undertaken to the basalt cliffs or to West Bay Conservancy (just north of Kampi ya Samaki) but where visitors have a particular request to see particular species, other locations may be chosen.
