Birdwatching Tours
Activities and Experiences Included
Expert Birding Guides
Travel with guides who know East and Southern Africa’s birds by call and plumage. They help you find and identify species, from colourful bee-eaters and rollers to secretive owls, and keep a checklist of everything you see.
Prime Birding Habitats
Visit Africa’s richest birding areas, including Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria for flamingos, Kakamega Forest for rare forest species, and the Okavango Delta for wetland birds such as the African fish eagle and wattled crane.
Migratory Seasons
Between November and April, migrant birds arrive from Europe and Asia and many resident species display their breeding plumage. This is the peak season for birders, although the region rewards bird watching all year round.
Expert Birding Guides
Guides bring spotting scopes and field guides, and can tailor each outing to the species on your wish list, from endemic forest birds to large raptors.
Prime Birding Habitats
Each habitat brings different species, so combining lakes, forests, savannah and wetlands on one trip gives you the best chance of building a long species list.
Migratory Seasons
During these months, wetlands and lakeshores fill with waders, storks and swallows, while resident birds are at their most colourful and vocal.
Why Go on a Birdwatching Safari
A birdwatching safari offers a unique chance to explore Africa’s amazing avian diversity in its native environment. Ranging from vibrant kingfishers, bee-eaters, and weavers to splendid eagles, flamingos, and migratory birds, every ecosystem has a unique variety of birds. Experiencing wetlands, forests, lakes, rivers, grasslands, and savannahs lets you enjoy avian diversity while meeting other wildlife and exploring the African landscape.
What is Involved in a Birdwatching Safari
Planning a birdwatching safari means choosing the right places to visit based on the birds you want to see. Early morning is usually a good time to go birdwatching because many birds are active then, and their calls are easy to recognise. Good bird watching guides know bird behaviour and recent sightings.
Where to Experience a Birdwatching Safari
Many places across Africa offer birdwatching enthusiasts unique options to enjoy birdwatching amid the continent’s natural beauty. One can explore the wetlands and lakes of Tanzania, the Masai Mara in Kenya, the Kruger National Park in South Africa, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.
