AVIAN LEISURE BIRDING NEWS BOARD
Summer 2007/2008
Summer of 07/08 has been an extremely wet one in parts of Southern Africa . Tragic for some (floods have left thousands homeless in Mozambique and Zambia ) but wonderful for other areas. After four years of drought the Nylsvley wetland in Limpopo Province of South Africa has once again flooded, bringing with it the return of large numbers of intra-African waterbirds. Breeding activity across a wide range of species is currently underway making this a must-do for birding tours to South Africa.
 See Nylsvley Update.
NAMIBIA : We are delighted to report that Avian Leisure has been accredited by the Namibian Tourism Board to operate in Namibia . Have a look at our Jewel of Namib Safari as an example of a fully guided tour that we can put together for a group of people; alternatively a similar tour can be designed as a self drive trip. We also recommend staying in the Wilderness Safaris camps in Namibia to combine a wildlife experience underpinned by truly luxurious accommodations.
ANTARCTICA - CAPE to CAPE 2009: We are privileged to be able to offer a really unique and particularly exciting wildlife experience through our partners Bird Holidays UK: 24 March - 18 April 2009 with the option to take in the ‘ Fairest Cape to the Garden Route ' as an overland birding extension after arriving in Cape Town.
For more info see Cape to Cape Cruise 2009 : for those who want to experience what must be the ultimate wildlife adventure, ANTARCTICA !
As always our best endorsement is past trips and we have compiled a selection of Trip Reports from 2007 describing sightings and experiences on our fully guided birding tours as well as our safaris and self drive trips.
