About this tour

Namibia, Botswana & Zambia Birding Tour Overview – The best birding spots in Africa!

Our popular Namibia, Botswana and Zambia birding tour offers some of the best birding and wildlife viewing in all of Africa. Over the years we have perfected our 14-Day itinerary. It includes excellent birdwatching opportunities, spectacular parks and reserves, great accommodation and top attractions. You will also have a great chance to see the Big Five and other rare and special mammals.

Expect to be amazed at the incredible habitat diversity during this trip. Think miombo woodland in Zambia and lush riparian forest in the Caprivi and Botswana to arid desert and sand dune landscapes in central Namibia. Don’t forget the spectacular lagoon at Walvis Bay on the Atlantic coast, and much more! This diversity brings with it some fantastic birdwatching, with many of the endemic, special and localized species featuring on every serious birder’s wish list. You can count on seeing several hundred avian species, along with many mammals, other fauna and flora and some superb classic African safari landscapes.

Target birds highlighted by the source include Pel’s Fishing Owl, Western Banded Snake Eagle, White-backed Night Heron, Slaty Egret, Damara Tern, Wattled Crane, Rockrunner, African Skimmer, Dune and Gray’s Lark, Hartlaub’s Spurfowl, Bradfield’s Hornbill, Damara Red-billed Hornbill, Monteiro’s Hornbill.
