Small-Group Birding & Wildlife Safari Trips & Tours South Africa

See our range of small-group birding and wildlife safari trips and tours in Southern and Eastern Africa.

These cover some of the best that Africa has to offer, and are designed specifically for birders and wildlife enthusiasts - our safaris aren't really aimed at the 'general tourist', but rather those keen on birds and natural history specifically.

We have been delivering first-class tours and safaris in Africa since 1990, and as such are South Africa's original specialized birding tour operator.

Some of our safaris are more focused on birds, while others are more focused on animals, but all offer a well-rounded natural history experience.

Note that the actual African safari itineraries may differ slightly according to availability at the time of booking. Kindly contact our enthusiastic safari tour set-departure consultants for more information and inspiration.

Choose your small-group birding and wildlife safari destination:

South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania or Uganda.

And, if group travel is not your thing, consider a Lawson's Custom Safari.
