New Destination for 2012

KENYA:  Birds & Mammals
It is not easy to describe Kenya in just a few words, but it would be fair to say that it is one of the most superb birding destinations in the world. It is blessed with some of Africa's finest wildlife reserves a number of which we will visit on this 13 day tour. Kenya has a huge bird list which stands at just over 1000, and although it is impossible to see everything in just one short stay, we hope to reach the 400 mark during the tour which has been designed specifically to visit the best birding sites and see as many bird species as possible during our stay. Although focusing primarily on the birdlife we will also have several opportunities to view the huge numbers and variety of mammals of the region which may including Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, Black Rhino, African Elephant, Cheetah, Leopard and Lion. Add to that some of the countries most spectacular scenery and you really do have the ingredients for a wonderful experience.

Availability. There are still places available on the following tour.

BULGARIA: Autumn Migration
This is a nine-day tour to the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, the crossroads between Europe and Asia. Autumn migration here is comparable to that of anywhere in Europe, and we should encounter thousands of migrating birds, which should include White and Dalmatian Pelicans, White and Black Storks, and a host of raptors such as Lesser Spotted Eagle, Honey Buzzards, Red-footed Falcon and Levant's Sparrowhawk. We start in the south of the country where the many wetlands, lakes and saltpans offers an impressive list of waders, gulls, herons and wildfowl. Then we spend four nights in the far north of the country close to the Romanian Border where the unspoilt rural countryside has many exciting birds to be found, the highlights from which may include Pygmy Cormorant, Ferruginous Duck, Pallid Harrier, Eagle Owl, Roller, Pied Wheatear and Rose-coloured Starling.
