⭐ CALLING ALL BIRD WATCHERS ⭐

Experience one of Europe’s top bird spectacles this August, on our 'Holland's Summer Birding' tour!

This small group tour offers a fantastic introduction to the wildlife riches of the Netherlands as thousands of waders gather on the vast Waddenzee in the north of Holland. At high tide, marvel at immense flocks as they rise and wheel across the sky. Among the feeding masses, we often pick out exciting rarities such as red-necked phalaropes and pectoral sandpipers, while overhead a superb cast of birds of prey patrols the wetlands, from resident white-tailed eagles to migrating Montagu’s harriers and short-toed eagles.

With spectacular wader displays, thrilling continental migrants, and expert guidance throughout, it’s the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Europe’s great wildlife destinations.

If you'd like to visit the Netherlands this summer, book by Friday 19th June to secure your spot!

Discover two of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich regions alongside Wildlife Photography Leader Bret Charman, on our Kenya's Big Cats & Tuskers tour!

Beginning in Amboseli National Park, photograph some of Africa’s last great big tuskers against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, then travel to the Masai Mara for the resident wildebeest calving season. Low water levels at this time often heighten predator activity, attracting lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena.
