Central Texas – Big Bend and Edwards Plateau: May 8 – 16, 2024
This Eco-Tour has been developed to celebrate the array of birds where east meets west, with an emphasis on three species with extremely limited ranges. The area west of San Antonio known as Hill Country provides the best opportunity for both Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo, and the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend is home to the very small U.S. population of Colima Warbler. While a long list of birds are expected, these three will remain the focal species of this experience. Other range-specific birds such as Common Black-Hawk, Gray Hawk, Elf Owl, Montezuma Quail, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Black-chinned Sparrow, Olive Sparrow and Hepatic Tanager are also on the target list.
This trip is offered at a cost of $2,995 per person for the double occupancy rate. Single occupancy is available; please review the trip details for more information.

Tanzania – August 7-20, 2024 - $7,999 plus airfare.
Join us for the trip of a lifetime to the eastern African country of Tanzania where we will visit the Ngorongoro crater (World Heritage site), the Great Rift Valley, and of course, the magnificent Serengeti.
There are over 1,100 bird species in Tanzania – many of which will be life birds for you. From sunbirds to ostriches, with flamingos in between, the diversity of species is amazing. Of course, birds are not the only thing we will be looking for. There will be elephants, lions, giraffes, hippopotamuses, rhinoceros, Old World primates, cheetahs, warthogs, wildebeest, leopards, jackals, hyenas, impalas, eland, gazellas, and numerous other antelope species – some in huge numbers.
When not looking at wildlife, we will be visiting local markets, stopping where the Leakeys discovered some of our earliest ancestors, and experiencing a Maasi village. At night, we will be staying at fantastic safari lodges and even doing a bit of “glamping”.
