Birdwatching in Botswana

Birdwatching in Botswana is indeed a rewarding experience and the best part is that it is a year-round activity. Bird lovers are spoilt for choice while exploring wild and wonderful Botswana.

Where to stay:

All our camps are suitable for birding safaris but we suggest Gunns Camp where your bird safari begins right outside your room.

This camp is set under leafy palms and African Ebony to blend naturally with its unique surroundings. Gunn’s Camp achieves a fine balance of comfort without isolating guests from the sights and sounds of the wilderness and birdlife. The camp also offers full day Mokoro Excursions that includes a delicious picnic lunch which can be enjoyed on a Delta island after an exhilarating bush walk.
