How to choose a Namibia birding tour
Windhoek is the usual starting point, with itineraries that work the central escarpment before heading for the coast or the rivers of the north. Walvis Bay supports dedicated coastal birding around its lagoon and shoreline.
Several longer programmes cross into neighbouring countries toward the Okavango and Victoria Falls, so check on each tour page where the route travels and which sections are birding-focused.
