South Africa

Birding Africa is based in Cape Town, South Africa

South Africa enjoys Africa’s highest level of endemism in the most accessible settings: 185 bird species are endemic or near endemic to southern Africa. With its scenic and botanical wealth, South Africa contains two of Africa’s four biodiversity hotspots as defined by Conservation International.

We offer a comprehensive South Africa Ultimate Endemics Tour as well as regional itineraries, such as a Western (Cape) Endemics Tour along the Cape Birding Route, an Eastern Endemics Tour and a Cape to Kruger birds & mammals Tour.

We have written the definitive bird-finding site guide to the region: The Southern African Birdfinder and Essential Birding.

Besides our South Africa tours (listed below), we also offer day trips and short tours from our home town to the Cape Peninsula, Overberg, the West Coast, Tanqua Karoo and the Kogelberg Biosphere. Our sister company, Cape Town Pelagics, runs regular sea-birding trip from Simon’s Town harbour. We also offer day trip from Polokwane, Limpopo Province which is north of Gauteng.
