Welcome to Limosa

With more than two decades of experience behind us, Limosa is proud to be recognised as one of the world's leading specialist birdwatching and wildlife tour operators.

From our office close to the famous North Norfolk coast, Limosa’s varied annual programme is selected from a repertoire of more than 150 of the very best in birding and wildlife tours. Meticulously planned, professionally led and with prices that are genuinely all-inclusive, we offer something for everyone - from five-day birdwatching breaks in Britain and Europe through to a comprehensive selection of two - and three-week holidays and cruises to some of the world's most beautiful wild places.

Our programme of tours for 2009-2010 is our biggest and best to date, ranging from tried and tested favourites - such as Spain, Lesbos, Gambia and the Norfolk coast - to holidays that are either completely new or which we haven’t offered for a while, such as Argentina, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Tanzania, Ghana, Mongolia, Israel, Iceland and Spitsbergen.

You’ll find tours that focus solely on birds through to holidays with broader natural history appeal. The activity symbols at the top right of each tour page are designed to give ‘at a glance’ an indication of what to expect.

Using The Limosa Website

Within this website you will find the full contents of our latest brochure plus a wealth of other information, including a Tour Overview, Detailed Itineraries and Bird Lists for all our forthcoming tours. Tour Reports are also available for many of our trips and you can access these at the click of a button on the relevant tour page.

If you want to know more about a particular tour/s, please ask for our detailed Tour Information Pack - there's one for each of our trips. To request a Tour Info Pack, simply click the Tour Info Pack button alongside the tour/s of your choice and we’ll mail or email this to you by return.

You can read more about the nature of our holidays by clicking the About Limosa button, see what we’ve been seeing on recent trips by visiting our exciting new Gallery, and keep up-to-datewith developments and offers by enjoying the latest Limosa News. And you can use our unique Search facility to help find a topic that interests you: perhaps a particular tour destination, trips with your favourite Limosa leader or even a 'target' species that you are keen to see.

To access all the above and more, simply click the Tours button - and away you go!

And when you've found the perfect tour, what could be easier than Booking Online? With our user-friendly website, it’s simple, safe and secure. (Or you can download a printable Booking Form and book off-line, if you prefer.)
