Birdwatching & Wildlife Safaris at Victoria Falls

What we offer ...

Best Birding Zimbabwe

We strive to organise the best birdwatching tours in Zimbabwe. Are you a first-time visitor to Zimbabwe and want to see as many species as possible? Are you a twitcher looking for the most elusive species? Are you a photographer keen on getting the best shots of your target species? No matter what you are looking for, our expert guides got you covered. We are passionate about birds and have many years of experience guiding birdwatchers from all around the world. 

Safaris on a different level

Our safaris are about much more than observing the big mammals. Our guides have an excellent knowledge of biodiversity generally and will be able to show you more species than you will see on a regular safari. We aim to keep groups small, so we disturb animals less and see more. Prepare for an eye-opening experience and excellent value for money.

Tailor-made tours

We can tailor your safari or birdwatching tour according to your budget and requirements. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for an offer and discuss your requirements.

What our clients said ...

I had a great morning out and about with Itela and Mongi, they certainly know some good spots for birds and I saw species I’d never have found by myself. Greater Painted Snipe was a bonus at the sewage pools and Rock Pratincole was hard to spot on the river but Itela knew just where to look. An excellent trip. Top Turaco tips too!

Andrew Cannon

Itela, owner of this company is a brilliant guide. We went on a boat trip on tbe Zambezi a short distance upstream from tbe Falls and then had a short walking safari nearer tbe town. Itela’s knowledge of birds is huge. We saw a huge range of birds as well as elephants, hippos, Wart Hog, Impala

Simeon Perry

I had a great mornings birding with Itela around Victoria Falls. Itela was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. We saw some great birds which were new to me, Schalows Turaco, Purple and Village Indigobirds, Long-tailed Paradise Whydah and Cut-throat Finch just to name a few. We bumped into some elephants too! Highly recommended.

I have been on walking safaris and days out bird watching with Itela over the last 6-8 years. I recommend him to people I talk to whenever I can. His knowledge of the wildlife, big and small is great. His knowledge, enthusiasm and eyesight makes birdwatching fun and informative. Not only does he spot them, but encourages you to try and identify them and impart so much knowledge onto his guests. I visit to Victoria Falls would be incomplete without at least half a day with Itela.

Mr. Sakanji is extremely passionate and knowledgable about birds and wildlife. He is very responsive by email and accomodating to any requests so you can have the best trip possible. Would highly recommend checking out his services if you like birdwatching or plan to do any safaris!

I had the good fortune of being guided by Itela for a day in January. We visited sites around Vic Falls and Zambezi NP and I was lucky to add a few photographed species to my collection. He was very perceptive and knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed our day. Thanks Itela.
