A TAILOR-MADE EXPERIENCE FOR THE DISCERNING TRAVELLER
Our two-week birding safaris are really specialist safaris, focused on people who love birds. We have scaled down accommodation to make these tailor-made trips as affordable as possible to keen birders. The safaris are structured in such a way that there are enough activities for non-birding partners to enjoy as well. We wish to emphasise that during these safaris clients also see a large variety of landscapes, plants as well as animals both large and small.
