Shirley Klein
Africa’s Great Migration refers to the annual migration of 1.5-2.5 million wildebeests, plus several hundred thousand zebras and gazelles, and a few predators, through Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This is a popular tourist destination to see mammals, but there are also birds. This presentation will focus on the birds, but will also include the mammals as well as some travel tips and comments.
Shirley Klein is a retired pediatrician. She retired so that she could travel and improve her photography skills. She has traveled extensively, visiting all seven continents, including 8 trips to Africa. On a previous trip, she saw herds of wildebeests in the Southern Serengeti. This last trip, in August 2025, was to the Northern Serengeti to see the wildebeests crossing the Mara River.
Shirley joined the West Chester Bird Club to improve her birding skills, and is a former president of the Club.
