WELFARE, CONSERVATION & TOURISM

Every tour counts!

Every time BirdsConTour leads a tour, we give something back.

This time it was the Famtrip Tour, a Namibia round trip organized by Chamäleon Reisen and Pack Safari and led by BirdsConTour. Participants were six Austrian and eight German travel agents invited by Chamäleon Reisen to get familiar with Namibia.

Guest are astonished! As soon as the Pack Safari bus stops, the birds come flying in. The mobile water trough is barely on the ground, they already fly down to still their thirst. This BirdsConTour project, Water for Sossus Birds, is a means of giving back to nature for what we unconsciously destroy with our visit into this dry environment of Sossusvlei.
