Sabaki River Hotel
A small budget residence alongside the Sabaki River estuary and delta.
Ideally situated for birders- just a short walk away are thousands of shorebirds, flamingoes, gulls and terns, a veritable feast for the eyes and the notebook.
The owner Rodgers Karabu and his son Mtawali can point you to the best places and birds and make all guests really welcome. Accommodation is either in the house or "safari" style tents.
Hippo come ashore at night to forage and sometimes the only sound is the wind blowing across the enormous sand dunes. It's a spellbinding off the beaten track option for those that want to get away from the regular tourist trail.

Birding Lake Baringo with Birdwatching Express
The website of Moses Kandie and his associates who run birding trips around Lake Baringo and the Rift Valley in Kenya.
I spent some time with Moses back in 2008 and he showed me many of the specialities of the Baringo area, which is one of Africa's really special bird places.

Maweni Farm
Maweni Farm is an excellent place to stay in Tanzania's West Usambara mountains. The owners Lars and Verena are superb hosts, the food is excellent and the location superb. From here you can arrange treks, go birdwatching, just relax in the excellent surroundings or your tented accommodation. See the pics on my site.
