Birding Safaris

An Ornithological paradise

Africa is home to some of the most colourful, strange and exciting birds in the world. If you are a keen bird watcher, there are some fantastic destinations in Southern Africa where you can watch unusual birds live in their natural habitats.

Bird watching safaris

Almost 2,500 species of 111 families have been seen in the main land of Africa, its associated islands and around its coasts. Of these, perhaps 1,800 species and a remarkable 20 bird families are found only in this geographic area.

Perhaps you want to see thousands of  flamingos and vultures at a carcass or huge numbers of seabirds. Whatever your interest, there should be something for you to see in Africa.

If you are an enthusiastic ‘twitcher’, there are many birding safaris to choose from. If there are specific birds you are keen to see, we can arrange a privately guided tour with a specialist guide.
