Welcome!

The Traveling Birder is your gateway to a portfolio of the best locally owned and operated tours and lodges around the world specializing in birding and wildlife photography - experts in their home regions.

Roll over the WORLD MAP or browse our REGIONS menu to select destinations. Click through to the websites of our locally owned and operated tours and lodge members. Or browse our TOURS menu for links to scheduled departures by date of departure. Book birding and wildlife photography tours and lodges directly with locally owned and operated providers.

We are a work in progress: 2012 is The Traveling Birder's launch year. We're so excited we're giving away gifts to several lucky travelers who join our Traveling Birder community. So, join us - it's free! Joining also gives you access to post photos in our galleries and participate to win prizes in our photo competitions.

As a member of The Traveling Birder community, we'll send you our quarterly bulletin containing valuable original content about field birding and wildlife photography, skills and gear. As they arise, we will also send you time sensitive, unadvertised, discounted tour deals from our tour provider members.

We do not and will not sell or permit others to access your information, ever.
