Birding tours: Custom-made and set itinerary birding adventures on all continents

 

Short tours targeting hard-to-find (or identify) southern African birds:
Flufftails, pittas, larks, crakes and warblers

Weekend trip for River Warbler, Olive-tree Warbler, Thrush Nightingale, crakes, etc. out of Johannesburg/Pretoria

In this trip we look for some of South Africa’s most difficult warblers, all found within a stone’s throw of Pretoria/Johannesburg.

River Warbler has to be found during the couple of week period when it starts calling just before it migrates out of South Africa.

These warblers are unpredictable – please provisionally book well in advance but note that we may have to change dates to accommodate the birds. With luck and rain-dependent, we may also find crakes and other skulkers.

The area we visit also has well over 300 other bird species, so expect a long list as a by-product of looking for the tough warblers.

Please note that this itinerary is being developed. Contact us for furthe information.
