We’ve just returned back to Home Base after a fully around the world affair—a 17 day tour in South Africa, a 14 day tour in Bhutan, and a four night scouting trip in Thailand! It was truly astounding. Josh Engel was leading the trips and saw more than 850 species of birds across the trips. The tours themselves were outstanding—incredible birds, great camaraderie, spectacular scenery, excellent itineraries, delicious food, and just wonderful overall travel experiences. The trip report and photo gallery from the South Africa trip are now posted.

Here are a few photos from the Asian trips as well. Our next set departure South Africa and Bhutan trips will be in 2020, but we can do custom trips to those destinations any time. Just get in touch!

Himalayan Monal has to be seen to be believed. Our group had astounding views at a monastery in Bhutan. Photo by Josh Engel.

In Thailand, like in South Africa and in Bhutan, we saw a great diversity of spectacular sunbirds. This one is Plain-throated (or Brown-throated) Sunbird. Photo by Josh Engel.
