On offer is a bird tour in the Southern Drakensberg and a small part of Lesotho, looking for the local endemic species and specials for this region. The area has habitats for Wattled Crane, a moist grassland special. We shall scratch around in the Leucosidea scrub for the attractive Bush Blackcap and a warbler or two. In the rocky grasslands we may find the Ground Woodpecker and Buffstreaked Chats while amongst the Protea trees the Gurneys Sugarbird will be feeding on its flowers. At higher altitudes we'll seek the Orangebreasted Rockjumpers and the Bearded Vulture.

In Lesotho the birds remind one of the Karoo, but with one rare Pipit on the list. Mistbelt forests may also be visited for a glimpse of the colourful Knysna Lourie or maybe the endangered Cape Parrot.

Valid passports are essential.
Bring warm clothes, cameras, binoculars etc.
