Many safari destinations offer dedicated guides who will ensure any keen twitcher gets the most out of their specialised safaris.

Across each of the continent’s topographies, you will find exceptional species. Tropical birds dot Africa’s coastlines and the islands of the Indian Ocean, while Boulders Beach in Cape Town is home to a colony of penguins. Seeking out Uganda’s iconic shoebill stork is a great addition to gorilla trekking, Zambia’s bright Southern Carmine bee-eaters offer dots of colour on a walking safari and Africa’s saline lakes are home to vast colonies of flamingos.
