Travel by car from Cape Town along False Bay to Muizenberg, St. James, Boulders Beach, Cape Point, and the Cape of Good Hope. You’ll have a guide-driver, bottled water, and English or French commentary. Guides such as Yannick, Isidore, Leon, and Elda have led highly praised outings, though entrance fees are extra.
“Very nice tour with Jean-Claude. We had a nice time and saw plenty of penguins!”
Meet guide Guillaume at A Rocha Life in Lagos for a three-hour walk beside the Alvor lagoon. Use the guide’s telescope to spot flamingos, spoonbills, kingfishers, bee-eaters, and other Algarve wildlife. Private transport, a maximum of eight people, and English guiding make this a friendly introduction to local birding.
“Exceptionally knowledgeable guide. Fantastic days birding with multiple firsts including a booted eagle and European bee eaters. Loads of plants, insects and all kinds of wildlife and water habitat. Highly highly recommend.”
Meet Mohamed Arabi, the Birdman of Aswan, for a private three-hour bird-watching trip through the Cataract Islands.

“Fantastic trip on the Nile in Aswan with a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide! Saw owls, blue kingfishers and other not normally seen birds. Peaceful, pleasant afternoon. You should bring your own binoculars if you want to see birds Read more”
