You may think that a bird watching safari is only suitable for the avid bird watcher but that is not always the case. Yes, there are bird watching holidays that are aimed at the more experienced but there are also plenty of holidays for beginners.

You may assume that a bird watching safari holiday will be boring but you couldn’t be further from the truth. A bird watching holiday can be extremely interesting and unlike when on an animal safari, you can often expect to see a lot of birds immediately.

You can often combine a bird watching holiday with an animal safari too. You may be able to spot both when you are out and about or you may find that the holiday is split in to two – part the time for the bird watching and the other for the animals.

Bird watching holidays take place all over the world but some of the best sites to see are in Spain, Columbia, Uganda, Sri Lanka and Peru. It can be enjoyed by the whole family although younger children may find it a little boring as there is often a lot of having to stand still and be quiet.
