In this age traveling becomes more and more important to people around the globe. To keep an eye on nature and to balance tourism and nature conservation, BirdsConTour initiated the “Travel gives Wings” division.

By traveling directly with BirdsConTour or making use of a guide from BirdsConTour you support bird conservation and create an economic platform for local livelihoods. Sometimes travelers also participate in another BirdsConTour project. To say THANK YOU, every tour participant receives a Bird & Birder Friendly Award at the end of the tour.

Nine German-speaking guests were rewarded with one penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Awards:

Anders Elke & Detlef

Böhm Christa & Horst

Hauffe Elvira

Möhle Antche & Manfred

Vogel Lotte Ingeborg Brigitte

Winkler Margitta

This Namibia Tour, organized by Pack Safari and Blue Planet, and led by BirdsConTour, took place from the 1st of May until the 15^th of May 2014.
