We have visited the beautiful Cape on numerous occasions for birds and wildflowers and have now devised a tour and itinerary, which is a little different. The Cape is well-known for superb quality wines and so what better combination than a Birds and Wine tour which explores the wine routes in this southern tip of Africa. We will cover a diverse variety of habitats for birds, at a time of the year when the Cape wildflowers are still looking great. We will find a large number of the Cape's endemic birds and visit some beautiful reserves. Highlights may well include the African Penguins at Boulder's Beach, Black Harriers at Langebaan or perhaps Cape Sugarbird in the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. This itinerary has been carefully planned to avoid long driving distances and thus give ample time to visit many beautiful wineries to learn about and sample the best of the Cape's fine wines. The cost of the holiday even includes some wine with the evening meals. Why not send for a previous tour report and read all about this unique holiday?
