Safari

Tick a lifer with a birding safari

Scan the skies.

 

There’s nothing quite like that first sighting of a rarity. As you watch and wait, your senses sharpen to detect the smallest movement and sounds. And then it happens. A flash of brilliant red, blues. The tip of a beak. Magic! With exclusive access to over 2.2 million hectares (5.4 million acres) across Africa's most remote and wild areas, you’ll find incredible bird sightings and diversity. You may even tick a lifer or two.

Brilliant birding adventures assured with Wilderness

Enhance your wildlife safari through birding. Whether you’re a first-timer or after a lifer, there’s something truly special about probing a little deeper into the ecosystem around you. Marvell at the size of a goliath heron (1.3 m). Follow the effortless gliding of an Amur falcon, and be stunned by the rare sighting of a shoebill stork in the wetlands of Akagera National Park.
