TBL Podcast - Season 13 Episode 2 - Exploring Kenya’s Wild Side: Josua Wenzel’s Birding Diary
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by Josua Wenzel — a talented young birder and artist — as he takes us on a deep dive into his two-month birding and conservation trip across Kenya.
From the cloud forests of the Taita Hills to the coastal habitats of Malindi and the savannas of Tsavo, Josua shares the story behind the species, the challenges of traveling on a student budget, and the people and places that left the biggest mark on him. We also talk about his volunteer work with A Rocha Kenya, the importance of community-led conservation, and why the African Birding Hub could play a vital role in protecting Kenya’s unique biodiversity.
This episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and practical tips for anyone who’s ever dreamt of birding beyond their borders. Whether you’re into sound recording, local guiding, rare endemics, or travel with purpose, you’ll find something in this conversation to take with you.
