Experience AFRICA!
Africa's top tourist destination is also one of the most important birding destinations on the continent. With infrastructure and amenities that are on a par with that of Europe and the US, spectacular natural diversity, pleasant climate, some of the best game parks, and a host of endemic species (37), South Africa is the perfect introduction to Africa and should be on every avid world birder's bucket list. In excess of 800 species have been recorded, and we could expect a birdlist in the region of 400 birds, sprinkled with a good number of endemics and unbelievable game viewing.
The Eastern Seaboard of South Africa offers some of the best birding in all of Africa and, on our "Birds & Beasts" tour, we will sample some of the diversity that makes this part of the country essential to any birder’s travels. In addition to being home to over 750 bird species, the region offers magnificent landscapes, modern infrastructure and the full big game experience - a birder and wildlife lover's dream trip with comfort and convenience. The pre- and post- trip extensions add to the diversity and allow you to experience more of what this incredible country has to offer.
