Australia: Kangaroos and Cockatoos

Tour Leader John Lötter and local guides Hennie Ferreira and Anton Booysen from Queensland Australia will lead you on adventurous birding and bird photographic safaris in the Land Down Under with camping safaris in the Outback on request.

Australia is about the size of Africa and impossible to bird the whole country in one trip.  We have designed a couple of safari options for Queensland, one of Australia’s top birding destinations with more than a 100 endemic birds and mammals found nowhere else.

New Zealand: Kiwi and Takahe

Tour Leader John Lötter who lived in New Zealand (2003 – 2006) and local guides Hennie Feireira and Anton Booysen from Queensland, Australia will lead you on a unique birding and bird photographic safari to the North and South Islands of New-Zealand.

Although New-Zealand does not have the numbers, it certainly has the uniqueness; flightless birds that in the absence of mammals substitute the niches of mammals like moles, mice and hare, some living under rocks, others like the elusive Kiwi in burrows under the ground.

Join us on a pelagic between North Island and the Tiri-tiri Matangi bird sanctuary and a pelagic between Wellington and Picton on our way to the South Island.

Eastern Zimbabwe and Central Mozambique: Robberts Prinia, Angola Pitta and Green-headed Oriole

Zimbabwe is quickly busy recovering from the devastating dictatorship of Zano PF-but this has not influenced the Zimbabwe people who I personally recon as one some of Africa’s friendliest people.

The spectacular Eastern Highlands-already part of the great African Rift is home to endemic and near endemic birds like Robberts’s Warbler, Chirinda Apalis and many other localized species such as Sweinerton’s Robin and Zambezi Indogobird.

The Eastern Highlands are a feast to the eye with spectacular views, botanical gardens, a world class golf course and tee plantations where Lesser Seadcracker and Anchieta’s Tchagra are amongst the many superb birds that can be found here.

Mozambique is one of my personal favourite African destinations, with wonderful people, ample seafood, white beaches with Palm trees and tropical reefs with colourful fish to be explored with snorkelling gear. I actually wrote and just published a book about my 2007 safari and the accompanying adventure when our vehicle broke down and we survived for 20 days with the help of local people.

We will focus on Mnt. Gorongoza home to the Green-headed Oriole, the Southern Zambezi mouth region for the illusive Angola Pitta.  The area north of Beira is best for East-coast Akalat, Locust Finch and Black-headed Apalis.

On our way to Maputo we will explore the last remnants of once pristine Miombo woodland for Olive-headed Weaver.
