Wild Zimbabwe: Birds & Wildlife

Bird count: 

Over 400.

Pace: 

Slow/medium

Tour difficulty: 

Easy – few long drives, that’s it. 

When to visit: 

Although the birding is outstanding all year round, the very best birding in Zimbabwe occurs during the rainy season from October to March. Abundant food sources, the presence of migrants, and many species adorned in breeding plumage render this period ideal for visitors. However, it’s important to note that some safari lodges close during November, reopening in April.

Sustainability: 

Wild Birding designs birding and wildlife holidays that support conservation, empower local communities, and tread lightly. We work exclusively with trusted local guides and conservation-minded lodges, avoid crowded circuits, and keep group sizes small to minimise our impact. We actively encourage guests to take part in citizen science through eBird, and we’ve partnered with Sustainable Travel to offer optional carbon offsetting and direct support for local conservation projects.

Price: 

Our tailor-made birding tours are custom-designed for each client, making standard pricing difficult. Costs vary based on factors like accommodation, group size, duration, and specific locations. For a personalised quote that matches your taste and budget, please contact us with your requirements.

As an example, this Wild Zimbabwe: Birds & wildlife costs £8,200 per person, based on a group of 6 individuals staying in top-end mid-range safari lodges with shared twin rooms.
