NAMAQUALAND, SOUTH AFRICA
BIRDS & FLOWERS
Birding, Wildlife, & Flower Tour
September 10 - 20, 2022
11 Days / 10 Nights
43,250 Rand
Single Supplement 3900 Rand
In birding terms, South Africa is a must for both the world lister and the leisure birder. For the leisure birder it’s a wonderfully diverse destination in which to see a lot of birds as well as some of Africa’s iconic mammal species in a seemingly endless array of habitat types. For the world lister, South Africa is important for the high levels of endemism which make it the most important country on the continent in terms of endemic and near-endemic species. These include 19 true endemics, 2 breeding endemics, 1 seasonal endemic, and 45 near-endemics. This special tour has been designed to complement our existing itineraries (Eastern South Africa, Western Cape and Drakensberg) to give birders who have done the other three tours a chance to “clean up” on South African endemics. This trip is truly spectacular, from the stark, lunar-like scenes of Augrabies National Park to the vast carpets of red, yellow, blue and white flowers of Namaqualand, where endemic birds abound. This trip is perfectly timed to catch the bulk of the Namaqualand flower season, a world-renowned natural spectacle that should be on every nature lover’s bucket-list.
