About this trip

This tour consists of 19 full days of unforgettable birding in the Republic of Tanzania, one of the premier wildlife destinations in the world. On this tour, we should have plenty of time to see and photograph a range of endemic bird species found only in Tanzania while visiting world-famous wildlife destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park to enjoy the country’s big game as well. This incredible venture takes us to a wide variety of ecosystems and top birding sites in the country, including Lake Victoria, Pemba Island, and the endemic-rich montane forests of the Eastern Arc Mountains. The November timing of the trip ensures maximum bird diversity, with thousands of migratory birds from Europe and North Africa present while local birds will have their breeding plumage on display. In addition, depending on the rains we should catch the start of the wildebeest migration as the animals move southward from Kenya into the northern Serengeti plains, which should be a highlight for many. To ensure maximum enjoyment, each participant will have a window seat in the 4x4 safari vehicles we’ll be driving in.

This trip did not happen. Everyone who signed up cancelled because of the extremely cold and windy conditions predicted.

Our trip with Simon Thomson and Venture Birding to Tranquilo Bay in Panama was just fantastic. Simon knows every bird by sound and sight. Our local guides based out of Tranquilo Bay Ecolodge were wonderful. They worked so hard to make sure we will able to see and experience birds in their natural habitat. We would highly recommend tours with Venture Birding and specifically at Tranquilo Bay.

Our Ventures guide, Clifton with assistance from local guide Chris offered a great birding opportunity and were knowledgeable in what and where we could see different species and we were quite successful with often excellent views. We did encounter sporadic rain but that was not inhibiting although some roads, like the road to Montezuma National Reserve required switches to 4-wheel drive vehicles due to road condition. So glad that was planned as our comfortable van would have not made that trek. All guides were helpful in ensuring we could all see the birds being viewed which was so important. Hotel accommodations varied with one or two rather simple as anticipated but a couple quite interesting and commendable. Enjoyed the trip and the opportunity to see a significant portion of rural Colombia and witness several colorful Christmas preparations.

Tranquilo Bay was a really unique experience. It was a lovely and exotic setting and just learning about it's history and infrastructure was fascinating. The accommodations were comfortable and the free laundry was extra nice. All of the guides were terrific, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was superb!
