Herero Chat at Spitkoppe Introduction

One of the ultimate birding trips in Southern Africa, this 17 day mega-trip trip takes in the Caprivi Strip, Okavango panhandle, Ruacana and then heads down to Hobatere Lodge, the Brandberg and Swakopmund. Our last birding stop is the Erongo Mountains before embarking on a long drive back to South Africa via the transkalahari Highway. Etienne Marais will be in the area in September, with a group of UK birders, so this trip will be refined on the basis of the latest gen.

The trip can be done as a self-drive guided tour, or you can travel with the leader in 4x4 or minibus (depending on numbers)
