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.

birding is undemanding but some long travel days.
comfortable
one of the most enjoyable & prolific birding destinations in Africa. Many species are approachable & provide good visuals in open conditions.

worthwhile to very good
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.
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.
Daniel Danckwerts was a delight; we very much enjoyed being with him. His bird skills are excellent and he does a good job getting people "on the bird." He was consistently pleasant, polite and upbeat. A highlight of the trip was the visit to his family's farm and meeting his family.
Greg is an excellent birder and worked hard to find as many species as possible, and also to make sure that everyone saw them. He was very genial company and took great care of everyone.
Greg is an excellent guide with great people skills. We appreciated him very much.
