The main target of our trip, the African Pitta, is surely the most beautifully coloured of all the birds in our region-those lustrous blue patches on the wing and the rump, the deep red belly, green back, golden-buff chest, pink throat, black tail, and a boldly striped black and yellow head.
This mouthwatering tour takes us to three of the finest national parks in Africa, home to an incredible diversity of wildlife and birds.
We visit Chobe National Park in Botswana and Hwange and Matobos National Parks in Zimbabwe.
Undoubtedly our flagship Zimbabwean tour, taking in several iconic destinations in the spectacularly beautiful eastern Highlands.
Although there are no endemic birds in Zimbabwe, the country boasts more than 50 species that do not occur in South Africa.
Many of these “specials” can be found in the focus area of our trip as we have carefully selected those destinations that will afford us the best chance of seeing the targeted species.
This truly memorable tour offers superb birding and boasts three of the most sought-after Mozambique “specials” ie Olive-headed Weaver, Crab Plover and the recently re-discovered Green Tinkerbird.
