Day 3: Discovering the Wonders of Samburu – The Vulturine Guineafowl

The vulturine guineafowl, with its vibrant blue plumage and white spots, is one of the most colorful and recognizable species of the savanna. Often seen in small groups, this guineafowl gets its name from its appearance, which resembles that of a vulture.

This species is particularly known for its dynamic social behavior. Vulturine guineafowl move in groups, primarily feeding on seeds, insects, and small invertebrates, and they use vocal calls to communicate with one another. Their presence adds a splash of life and color to the savanna.
