Bird Watching Holidays by country
Bird Watching Holidays Guide
Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
We can organise trips where the entire stay revolves around spotting the rarest or most magnificent birdlife in a country or region, all in the company of a specifically expert bird-spotting guide; or weave a one-off birdwatching experience into a broader-themed wildlife or cultural trip as intricately as white-browed sparrow-weavers (Plocepasser mahali) build their nests in the acacia trees of Botswana's Okavango Delta.
Speaking of the Okavango Delta, the waterways of this remarkable natural phenomenon are probably the gold standard destination for birdwatching holidays, and our expert bird-spotting guides can take your Okavango birdwatching experience to the next level with their knowledge of habitats, migratory patterns and behaviour.
Other classic African birdwatching holiday destinations include South Africa and Uganda, while Latin America gives Africa a run - of flight - for its money. The jewel in the South American birdwatching crown is Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, thanks in part to the observations Charles Darwin made there about finches which lead to his theory of evolution. Elsewhere in Latin America the Peruvian Amazon rainforest and the vast wetlands of Brazil's Pantanal region are also prime bird-spotting spots.
Asia and Australasia also get in on the act with prime birdwatching holiday destinations such as Papua New Guinea (for 38 different species of birds of paradise, famed for their elaborate plumage and courtship dances), Northern India and Japan.
Last but not least, don't rule out Europe, with Spain's Donana National Park and Romania's Danube Delta hosting hordes of migratory species, while the UK itself is a famous birdwatching destination.
