Mozambique Birding Adventure 28 July - 12 August, 2006Introduction | ||
|
Join us and go on the birding trip of a lifetime! Mozambique is the last frontier for Southern African Birders, and offers a host of specials, which are not easily seen elsewhere in the world. This is a self-drive tour, although places will also be available for people without their own 4x4 vehicle.
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.
The exact itinerary will be finalised closer to the time, but the itinerary here is pretty close to ideal!

This is a self-drive tour - which aims to provide an affordable way to join a well-organised group, under the guidance of someone who knows the ropes in Mozambique and can ensure that you see most of the specials!
