Mozambique Birding Tours 2013/2014:


Most of these trips include time in Zimbabwe as well - very safe and enjoyable these days!

Mozambique & Zimbabwe Winter Classic. 25 July - 10 August 2013:  
This tour takes in all the best-known Mozambique hotspots - including Panda,(Olive-headed Weaver), Unguane (Green Tinkerbird), Mount Gorongosa, Rio Savane, Mphingwe and the Zambezi basin, and the Bvumba Mountains in Zimbabwe. The winter months are a surprisingly good time to visit Mozambique and the highlands of Eastern Zimbabwe. Most resident species are relatively easy to see and relatively cool days and active birdlife combined with "winter" rains often produces spectacular shows. Winter migrants include Short-tailed Pipit, Mascarene Martin and Malagasy Pond-Heron. This trip will also include a special search for Bohm's Bee-eater. . . . . . more.
Central Mozambique birding Adventure (with African Pitta) 5 - 17 December 2013.

This trip now includes an opportunity to see the Green Tinker-Barbet. This is our annual trip to central mozambique in early December - the primary target being African Pitta, but the itinerary provides an opportunity to see a host of other good birds including White-chested Alethe, Black and White Flycatcher, Locust Finch, Blue Qual, Swynnerton's Robin and Anchieta's Tchagra . . . . . more.
Mozambique/Zimbabwe late summer special 6 - 20 February 2014.

This trip is timed to take advantage of the late summer season, a time when a variety of specials are most easy to see. In particular late summer is excellent for Cuckoos, Warblers, waders and specifically specials such as Crab Plover and Great Knot, as well as many other possibilities as regards rarities. The trip includes a visit to the Green Tinkerbird site, Beira coastal floodplains and of course the Wetlands of Harare which can offer spectacular birding at this time of year. The trip also provides a chance of seeing Basra Reed-Warbler) . . . . . more.

About our Mozambique trips


Due to popular demand, we are continuing with our Mozambique Trips in 2012 and 2013

Join us and go on the birding trip of a lifetime! Mozambique is one of the last frontier for Southern African birding, and offers a number of specials not easily seen elswehere in Africa. Contrary to the perceptions of many South Africans who holiday on Mozambique's "spoiled" southern coast, Mozambique offers vast tracts of woodland, forest and wetlands, some superb reserves, national parks and incredibly rewarding "hotspots".

The focus is on some of the more difficult species found in the region, and we will concentrate efforts on these species in each area.

Indicator Birding has been organizing Mozambique birding trips for 7 years, and Etienne Marais, who will be your leader knows the localities and the birds intimately.
