We specialize in leading unforgettable rare mammal and bird tours that showcase the rarer, shyer, scarcer and more cryptic mammals and endemic and special birds across the Southern African landscape. These tours are focused on the more seasoned wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who have already undertaken several safaris, and seen the “Big 5” mammals and general birds a few times, but are now determined to locate and experience the more elusive and seldom seen “second tier” mammals and the endemic and special birds in the sub-region.  

​

Quality and value for money are important to us, as we curate and lead superb ecotours that concentrate on delivering a high success rate of viewing rare and endemic mammal and bird species within the region.
