Wild Birding

Birding & Wildlife Holidays in Africa & Beyond

Who We Are

BESPOKE

Since 2016, Wild Birding has specialised in designing truly personalised birding holidays — in Africa and beyond. It’s what we do best. Whether you’re after luxury lodges or back-to-basics adventure, a family-friendly escape or a photography-focused expedition, we craft each tour to match your interests and pace.

 

Our trips are built for all levels — from seasoned birders chasing endemics and lifers, to those just starting out or simply wanting to combine great birding with iconic wildlife experiences. Every itinerary is built from the ground up and guided by trusted local naturalists who know their patch inside out. Wherever you are on your birding journey, we’ll help you get the most from it.

 

AFRICA SPECIALISTS

Wild Birding began in Kenya, and Africa has been at the heart of our story ever since. We don’t just work here — we love it. The birds, the landscapes, the people — it’s a continent that never stops inspiring us.

 

Over the years, we’ve built trusted relationships with exceptional local guides, conservation partners, and some of the most remarkable lodges and camps across the continent. These connections mean we know exactly where to send you for the best birding at the right time — and they also allow us to offer something few others can: exclusive, high-value rates created specifically for our birding guests. These special arrangements mean that travelling with Wild Birding gives you access to outstanding properties and guiding at excellent value, while directly supporting the people and conservation projects that make Africa so extraordinary.

 

From remote mountain forests to vast savannahs teeming with wildlife, every itinerary is carefully crafted to match your pace, your style, and your wishlist — with the passion and care of a team that genuinely adores this place.

 

WIDER HORIZONS

We’ve always had our roots in Africa, but 2025 marks a new chapter. We recently returned from Brazil, where we explored the Atlantic Forest — our launchpad into Latin America.

 

This year, we’re adding new birding tours across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent — all designed with the same care, flexibility, and expert guiding that define every Wild Birding trip.

Our Wild Birding Tours

For all our destinations, we provide exclusive, custom-designed birding tours. Our range of experiences includes luxury tours, budget-friendly options, specialised bird photography excursions, and family-friendly birding adventures. Whether you're in a small group or a large one, whether your trip spans from 3 days to 30 days, we've got you covered. Consult with one of our seasoned birding experts to craft your ideal birding holiday — it's what we've excelled at for 10 years.
Because of the close partnerships we’ve built with lodges and camps, we’re also able to offer exceptional, birding-specific rates that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s part of what makes a Wild Birding trip such great value — combining the best birding with carefully chosen accommodation, expert guiding, and meaningful support for local conservation. As a committed ecotourism company, we've implemented various initiatives, ranging from carbon scoring and offsetting to partnering with sustainable properties. Furthermore, we actively participate in supporting local projects that empower communities and safeguard birdlife and wildlife habitats.

Why Go Wild?

SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE

With deep, on-the-ground expertise, we handpick places to stay that keep you close to the wild — from back-to-basics bush camping to luxury tented camps under star-filled skies. Every choice balances comfort, setting, and immersion in nature.

 
EXPERT TOUR GUIDES

Our tours are led by some of the best bird guides in the world: passionate, experienced, and based in-country. Their local knowledge makes all the difference in the field.

 
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

We believe every trip should give back. That’s why we partner with trusted local guides, support community-owned lodges, and keep our group sizes small. We can also carbon score your trip and offer offsetting through Sustainable Travel.

 
CITIZEN SCIENCE

All our tours contribute to citizen science through eBird. We log daily checklists and provide each guest with a detailed trip report. You can explore our sightings on our Wild Birding eBird profile.
