Zambia is a paradise for bird lovers, boasting over 750 recorded bird species and a rich diversity of habitats — from lush wetlands and riverine forests to miombo woodlands and grasslands. Our ornithological safaris focus on Zambia’s top birding regions including South Luangwa National Park, Kafue National Park, Bangweulu Wetlands, and Lochinvar National Park.

Each destination offers a unique birding experience — from watching shoebills and wattled cranes in the Bangweulu Wetlands, to spotting Pel’s fishing owl and African pitta along the Luangwa River. Expect to see birds in abundance alongside Zambia’s iconic wildlife, all guided by expert ornithologists and safari guides.
