Namibian Tours
We offer birding tours to all parts of Namibia with emphasis on the endemic and near-endemic species.
Besides the birding, Namibia also offers good wildlife and excellent photographic opportunities. From the arid Namib dune field with the only endemic Dune Lark to varied bushveld habitats, the tour works its way to the Etosha National Park with an abundance of game and birdlife.
A special northeast trip to the Caprivi woodlands and wetlands offers the opportunity to see many special species as well as wildlife.
