BirdSeekers Holidays Brochure

BirdSeekers Holidays presents a brochure of birdwatching tours designed for beginners and experts alike, with a firm emphasis on seeing birds and wildlife well. The range spans from early-start, fast-paced trips chasing special or difficult species to more relaxed holidays based in a single hotel throughout the trip.

Expert-Led Birding Tours

Working with some of the very best local guides alongside its own expert leaders, BirdSeekers Holidays offers a bird-finding ability the company describes as second to none, taking pride in locating species that are difficult or seldom seen. Tours run at prime times to maximise the chances of seeing particular species, and the company states it does not add extra departures if doing so would lessen those chances in any way. Demand has been high, with many tours running second departures.

The 'Specials' Range

The BirdSeekers 'Specials' have proved highly popular, offering slightly shorter long-haul tours at very good prices while maintaining high standards. The brochure introduced several new and re-designed destinations:

• Papua New Guinea, in search of the spectacular 'birds of paradise'
• Uganda, re-designed as a 'special' focusing on Gorillas and the Albertine Rift Endemics
• A shortened Kazakhstan tour
• Ecuador, in search of hummingbirds, tanagers and a wealth of other rainforest birds
• Peru, taking in the coast, high Andes, spectacular forests and the famous Machu Picchu
• Continuing African 'specials'

Costa Rica Highlight

BirdSeekers believes it runs the best tour to Costa Rica, scheduled for March/April when there are more migrants around than on the usual January tour. With value for money and 500 species of birds, the trip is led by Steve Bird and Kevin Easley.
