Zambia is often neglected as a birding destination in Africa, and yet it boasts some of the most extensive tracts of pristine wilderness in Africa supporting an almost unparalleled diversity of mammals and well over 700 species of birds including at least two fabulous endemics (the Black-cheeked Lovebird and Chaplin’s Barbet). This exciting tour focusses on two sites in the southern part of the country, namely the Nkanga River Conservation Area and the immense Kafue National Park. These two sites will afford you the opportunity to see both of Zambia’s endemic birds as well as a host of other highly sought-after Central African species including the African Spotted Creeper, Southern and Yellow-bellied Hyliotas, Racket-tailed Roller, Shelley’s Sunbird, Fülleborn’s Longlcaw, and Dickinson’s Kestrel to name a few. Mammal highlights include distinct chances for Serval, Lion, Cheetah, African Wild Dog, Leopard, both the Sable and Roan Antelopes, Southern Reedbuck, and Hartebeest to name a few.

Thank you for a wonderful trip! Thank you, Andre Bernon, for all you did to make it so memorable!
Heinz Ortmann is a great guide, organizer and traveling companion.
I enjoyed the trip… a nice mix of birds and other animals. Greg de Klerk did a great job. I hope there will be another trip that I can travel with him.
Andre Bernon was a great leader, with great vision and bird finding skills. He also had excellent people skills, both with the participants and the various third parties that we dealt with. He maintained good humour and an even disposition throughout.
Daniel Danckwerts is a fine young guide, excellent and devoted birder, and can get people onto the specials - he is very personable, always optimistic and constantly professional, working to get the most possible out of the trip.
