Our Western South Africa Cape birding extension, combined with our Eastern South Africa tours, can produce up to an incredible 500 bird and 50 mammals species, including many South African endemics and near-endemics. Commencing in Cape Town, which is widely considered one of the world’s most beautiful cities, we set out to explore the breathtaking Cape Peninsula, the succulent Tanqua-Karoo, West Coast National Park and teeming offshore pelagic waters. Cape targets include the comical African Penguin, Black Harrier, Ludwig’s Bustard, elusive Cinnamon-breasted Warbler, attractive Victorin’s Warbler, stunning Orange-breasted Sunbird, Cape Sugarbird, Protea Canary and Cape Rockjumper, the last belonging to a family that is entirely endemic to South Africa.
