Our in-country guides lead these tours. Each year we set up self-guided tours for individuals who want to go on their own, or need to travel economically. We will work with you to design an itinerary that fits your needs, arrange hotel reservations, transfers or rental car reservations, air tickets and provide invaluable advice relevant to your trip. We also arrange for trips that are partially on your own, and partially in a guided tour. This varies from tour to tour.
Evenings are generally free, with spotlighting offered in some areas.
Our birding tours typically start very early, and take very little time off except as heat or heavy rain dictate. We regularly go out at night, or in the dark of the very early morning in search of nocturnal species. Even our most serious birding groups also stop to enjoy mammals, other animals and interesting flora. While our tours spend a lot of time on our feet, they are not physically strenuous. Some tours involve more travel time, or spend time on particularly bad roads.
