We invite you to join our unforgettable birdwatching tours, bird photography tours & nature photography tours with small groups of like-minded guests.
Spaces & dates can be limited so please get in touch and book early.
Every year we promote a selection of our most popular and new itineraries for small group scheduled departures. These tours are perfect for those travelling in couples, with friend or alone & those wanting to explore with others. Private tours come highly recommended for custom experiences and dates that suit you or when travelling with friends.
Please see our Group Tour Schedule below.
If these dates or duration don’t suit you, email us to open your own group tour or book a private birding or photography tour. A reasonable level of fitness is required on our group tours. If you have specific needs or target experiences/photos, we recommend a private tour.
Solo guests may opt to share a twin room subject to availability or book single supplement. Accommodation is in mid-range and best available air-conditioned en-suite rooms/cabins twin or double share and can be upgraded on private and international tours.
