About Limosa

Is Limosa For Me?

Whether you're a beginner or someone with years of experience, if you're passionate about birds and wildlife, then our tours are for you. Although birds are the primary focus on many of our holidays, our programme also features an increasing number of tours with wider wildlife appeal. The activity symbols - bird, mammal, boat, walking, etc - at the top right of each tour page give an indication of what each holiday includes.

Our varied annual programme, selected from a repertoire of more than 150 guided tours and cruises, ranges from short breaks in Britain and Europe through to three-week holidays to some of the world's finest wildlife destinations. All that you need to enjoy them is a love of birds and the natural world, a desire to travel - and of course, your binoculars! Seldom strenuous, our trips call only for a degree of fitness appropriate to the destination you choose.

The Trip Information box that that appears alongside every Tour Overview and detailed Tour Itinerary on this website gives a brief summary of what to expect and will help you decide if a tour is right for you.

Detailed Tour Information Packs are available for all our trips, upon request from our office. Each pack contains a wealth of essential material - including a full Daily Itinerary and summaries of What To Expect, as well as covering more mundane topics such as weather, passports, visas, health and insurance - to help you decide if a particular trip is right for you. To request an info pack, simply click on the Tour Info Pack button alongside the tour of your choice.

Want to know more about the birds and other wildlife to expect on a particular tour? Bird Lists are available for all our regular trips (and are included within our Tour Information Packs), so you can see what was seen on our most recent visit/s. Where a tour is new to our programme or the itinerary differs significantly to that which we've offered before, we enclose a prospective bird list for the trip.

For an ever-increasing number of our trips you can also view a selection of photos, the majority of them actually taken on tour. These can be accessed either via the Gallery button, or by clicking the View Gallery Images button on the individual tours page.

After you've booked, we follow up with a Reading List, a previous Tour Report (where available), a Map of the tour area and detailed general Travel Information (climate, health, clothing, what to bring etc), plus our a Limosa Checklist of Birds to help you prepare for your holiday.

For additional details, please click the Essential Information button on this page.

So go on: make yourself that mug of coffee, curl up in your favourite armchair with our new brochure in hand - travel the world with Limosa!
