Limosa - Birdwatching and Wildlife Hoildays Worldwide

When to book?

We're often asked this - and the short answer is as early as possible! Our tours are limited to small group sizes and so popular destinations can fill up very quickly - sometimes even before our brochure comes out. We often receive bookings over a year ahead for tours and, as a rough guide, many tours fill around four to six months in advance.

Single rooms are usually the first to go, so please do try to book early if you require one of these. Having said this, we invariably get a few late cancellations so it's always worth enquiring about vacancies on any tour - even those departing in a few weeks time.

Early bookings help both you and us in many ways. Not only are you sure of your place on a trip, but we can secure accommodation and flights much more easily well in advance. This is especially true for long-haul destinations. So as an added incentive, we are pleased to offer an Early Booking Discount. Click the Discounts and Benefits button to find out more!

How to Book

Booking is easy!

If you need further details, ask us to send you a Tour Info Pack for your chosen trip. To request a Tour Info Pack, simply click the Tour Info Pack button that appears alongside every tour. See also the About Limosa section of this website.
