| We are expanding our trips offerings in Asia, Africa and Europe significantly in the next six months. We just added over twenty trip dates for Gambia, Malawi, Madagascar, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and we should have more on Ghana and Kenya soon. In Europe, expect expanded offerings in Bulgaria, France, Portugal and Spain. In Asia, we will have top birding trips in India, Malaysia and Borneo, Papau New Guinea, the Phillipines and Turkey. We continue to offer over 80 trips to meet your birding needs in the United States, Central America and South America. I have listed most of our trips in 2012, and I try to keep any new dates listed. However, I may not have all the current choices up; so, please call for any location and additional dates through the end of 2012. Nearly all of our 2011 trips have sold out or have run successfully. We have recently added a few dates for our Ecuador trips, and still have room on our October Colombia trip and November Uganda trip. These trips usually sale out within 2 to 4 months after being posted and most are filled 6 months prior; however, there are exceptions. We will also consider opening new trip dates if there is demand and capable guides are available. Please note that over 40% of our trips our custom trips and sometimes these small groups (sometimes couples and sometimes slightly larger groups) want more bird watching company. Many of these trips are a great birding value. Please feel free to ask about all our birding trip possibilities. If we understand where you would like to go birding (what countries and/or what routes), we are better able to provide you birding opportunities with great value to you. Please call us toll free at 888-203-7464 to learn more. |
