Lawson’s News Flash: special price for March birding tour!
We’re offering a great deal to kick off 2011. If you find yourself tiring of winter, yearning for warmer days and some serious birding, then you need to join our special Escarpment and Kruger National Park birding and wildlife tour, 15th to 22nd March 2011.
The tour begins in Johannesburg, with the first two nights in the highland town of Dullstroom to seek out grassland endemics and specials such as Southern Bald Ibis, Yellow-breasted Pipit, Sentinel Rock-Thrush, Cape Longclaw, the iconic Long-tailed Widowbird, Denham’s Bustard and others. We then head on to the Blyde River Canyon, with some forest birding at Mount Sheba on the way, before spending four nights in the Kruger National park, where things really hot up as far as birds and wildlife go. Late March is a superb time for birding in the Kruger, when the Palearctic migrants are feeding to the max before their onward journey begins and grasses are seeding, providing food for vast flocks of Red-billed Queleas. We have the first two nights on the basalt plains of the Satara region, and then move south for a night at Skukuza on the Sabie River and a last night among the granite outcrops of Pretoriuskop. On the last morning we have a birding session in the stunning Lowveld National Botanical Gardens to look for African Finfoot, Mountain Wagtail, Red-backed Mannikin and others before heading back to Johannesburg. Upwards of 300 bird species and 35 mammal species to be expected.
And now for the best part: this 7 night / 8 day tour is now selling from only ZAR 11 950 per person sharing, with a single supplement of ZAR 2150, on a Bed and Breakfast, Johannesburg to Johannesburg basis.
