Birdlife SA Bird of the year 2024



We are spoiled with exceptional birding and the most beautiful landscapes and Mount Kenya and Lake Baringo definitely did not disappoint.
Our Kenya tour has just started and we enjoyed some spectacular birding on our first day. One of the highlights was a great sighting of the Moorland Chat in Aberdare National Park. This tour is a combination of Birding and Wildlife, the best of both worlds!
It’s a bucket list birding destination for birders from all over the world. Home to over 130 endemics and near-endemics and six endemic bird families (the Cuckoo Roller, tetrakas, mesites, asities, vangas and the incomparable ground rollers).
The island offers a unique world where 90% of the wildlife is found nowhere else on earth! Madagascar is also the place where you can find two-thirds of the world’s chameleons, a remarkable array of endemic reptiles, frogs and mammals and, of course, the famous Lemurs.
Exploring Patagonia proved to be a very exciting birding adventure. The highlight so far being the incredible sighting of the localised and critically endangered Hooded Grebe.
Other beauties included Mourning Sierra Finch, Patagonian Mockingbird, Lesser Horned Owl, Dolphin Gull and Magellanic Penguin.
The Black-fronted Piping-Guan is critically endangered and we were so privileged with this great sighting at the Iguazu Falls, which is also a world heritage site.
We are enjoying an exceptional birding tour in Argentina. The birding is in one word – Excellent!
Our Nature Travel Birding team are currently exploring the birding opportunities in Argentina, and it sure is an amazing destination with incredible finds and sightings with only two days into our tour.
