Birding

St Lucia and surrounding area offers some of the best birding opportunities anywhere in Africa.  Published author and ornithologist Ian Sinclair said "The Igwalagwala Trail in St Lucia has to be one of the best birding walks in the world for the number of quality birds for the surface area you have."  There are over 500 species of birds in summer, including many migrants. Birding tours are custom designed according to what you want to see, and costs are calculated at an hourly rate.  So whether you want to see water birds, sea birds, forest inhabitants or birds of prey, our local knowledge will give you the very best chance to find the birds you want.

The list of "specials" you might see include large numbers of White Pelican and Pinkbacked Pelican, Rufousbellied Heron, Saddlebilled Stork and Yellowbilled Stork, Lesser Flamingo and Greater Flamingo, Southern Banded Snake Eagle, Crested Guineafowl, Buffspotted Flufftail, Lesser Jacana, Caspian Tern, Livingstone's Turaco, Green Coucal, Mangrove Kingfisher, African Broadbill, Yellowspotted Nicator, Whitethroated Robin, Brown Robin, Bearded Robin, Rudd's Apalis, Woodward's Batis, Shorttailed Pipit, Pinkthroated Longclaw, Gorgeous Bush Shrike, Neergaard's Sunbird, Green Twinspot, Pinkthroated Twinspot and Grey Waxbill.
