These sun-drenched islands, belonging to Spain, lie just north of the African coastline and the Tropic of Cancer and were known by the Greeks as the remnants of the lost Kingdom of Atlantis. The earliest settlers were the Gaunches, sturdy people with blue eyes and fair hair, who were eventually displaced by Spanish invaders before finally settling in South America. Called the “Garden of Europe” due to a wonderful climate, it’s a place where flowers and vegetables can be grown in the middle of the European winter.
On this tour, we visit the desert-like landscape of Fuerteventura to the moist forested slopes of Tenerife, a volcanic island with huge tracts of solidified lava. The isolation of these islands has favoured the evolution of endemic forms of species including Laurel and Bolle’s Pigeons, Canary Islands Stonechat, Goldcrest (Canary Island Kinglet), Canary Island Chiffchaff as well as Tenerife Blue Chaffinch. This promises to be a pleasant week with comfortable hotels, excellent cuisine, stunning scenery and a selection of island endemics.
Laurel & Bolle’s Pigeons; Canary Islands Stonechat; Canary Islands & Tenerife Blue Chaffinches; Goldcrest (Canary Island Kinglet); Canary Islands Chiffchaff; Atlantic Canary; Berthelot’s Pipit; Great Grey Shrike; Trumpeter Finch; Barbary Partridge; Cream-colored Courser; Black-bellied Sandgrouse; endemic sub-species or races of African Houbara; Common Buzzard; Greater Spotted Woodpecker; European Robin; African Blue Tit; Egyptian Vulture.

MODERATE TO CHALLENGING: This tour requires a good level of fitness, stamina, and overall health. It’s best suited for experienced birders who are comfortable with a more active itinerary. Please note that it may not be ideal for avid photographers, new birders, or those with mobility or health concerns.
Suitable for all birding / wildlife interest levels.
Comfortable.
Moderate to easy. Most species provide good visuals in open conditions.
Spectacular volcanic scenery, rarely visited islands, excellent cuisine
Good to very good. Some species may be distant of obscured, landscapes can be harsh/bright depending on time of day.
This was my third trip with Dušan and he, once again, orchestrated an outstanding experience. Not only is he a top notch bird guide, but he is also a superb tour leader who works tirelessly to make sure his clients have an enjoyable and trouble-free experience. Last, but not least, he is an interesting and friendly person: always willing to share his expertise and excited about learning from others. I truly hope that I have an opportunity to bird and travel with Dušan again.
Great to have such an enthousiastic and patient leader in Glen Valentine.
Excellent tour. Accommodations were as good as could be expected given the isolated areas we needed to reach to see all the endemics. We saw them all. Dusan and the two local guides were exceptional at finding the birds and getting us on them. The vehicle fit our purpose, the luggage trailer was a great idea, and our driver Jose was very professional.
Lev was the perfect guide- knowledgeable, professional, polite, reliable. And well-dressed for the occasion with his bird-themed T-shirts! Everything was well organized and went smooth.
Great trip
