Our Morocco tour is more than just birding. The culture and history of the region will amaze you, and the landscape will take your breath away. We will be covering most of the southern part of Morocco, in and out of Marrakesh, and we include all the most amazing and incredible places: the Atlantic wetlands, the dunes and oases of the Sahara, and the Atlas Mountains. All of these are of great importance to millions of birds during the spectacle of spring migration from Africa to Europe. Northern Africa has a number of bird specialties and near endemics found only in the southern part of the Western Palearctic, and Morocco is the only safe area to see these birds. On this list we can expect to see Moussier’s Redstart, Levaillant’s Woodpecker, Atlas and Maghreb wheatear, Tristram’s Warbler, and Northern Bald Ibis, the only wild population of this species in the world.
