The earliest recorded continent-wide birding Big Year record was set by Guy Emerson in 1939 (497 species). The Big Year World record stands at 6,852 species which was set in the year 2016 by Arjan Dwarshuis. The American Birding Association (ABA) Big Year record is 840 species and this was set by John Weigel (in the year 2019). This can be a single state/ county, country, continent or even the globe. Basically, a Big Year involves spending one calendar year birding a specific geographical region and looking to find as many birds as possible. The concept of a Big Year has been in the birding arena for many decades and to some people it is a life goal to conquer an existing record. “It always gives us much joy when we take birding guests to spots where rare birds occur but the greater joy is achieved when we finally find these rare species and show them to the guests”, commented Washington Wachira. We have, for many years, successfully shown world birders most of the birds of East Africa, through our different tours and safaris.
