What you can expect

  • Begin your birdwatching adventure by launching from the Kasane jetty. Receive a short briefing on the key bird species to expect, along with safety and silence protocols. Get equipped with binoculars and a bird checklist to enhance your experience.

    Drift slowly along the riverbanks, focusing on riparian zones and reed beds. Keep an eye out for target species like the African fish eagle, malachite kingfisher, pied kingfisher, African jacana, and squacco heron. Your guide will cut the engine near bird clusters and use the current to drift silently, positioning the boat with the sun behind you for optimal photography.

    Next, move into quieter channels and floodplains, where you might spot high-value sightings like the African skimmer, openbill stork, great white pelican, and goliath heron. Keep an eye out for hippos and crocodiles, which add to the experience while maintaining the focus on birds.

    Wrap up your safari with light refreshments, including coffee, juice, and snacks. Recap the species spotted, tick them off your checklist, and optionally share birding tips or insights into seasonal migrations.
