Being on a lush island between the Chobe and Zambezi rivers, Impalila Island Lodge is a top bird-watching destination. Some of the Okavango's specials are found here, as well as highly unusual species like the rock pratincoles, which frequent the bubbling rapids. Other species you might be lucky enough to spot are the trumpeter hornbill, African skimmer, Schalow's turaco and Pel's fishing owl. - View lodge details

Bagatelle covers a stretch of typical Kalahari dunes. Cape turtle, laughing and Namaqua doves are common; white-quilled korhaan make spectacular displays in breeding season, and the ostriches are always magical. Raptors include the pale chanting goshawks, black-shouldered kites and the occasional rock kestrel. For an exotic touch, peacocks wander around the farmstead's gardens. - View lodge details

The Erongo Mountains are great for keen birders. In and around the lodge many species are common ranging from small sunbirds through to Verreaux's Eagles. On our last visit, sightings included the red-billed and Hartlaub's francolin, rosy-faced lovebird, pale-winged starling, white-tailed shrike – and a lovely sighting of a freckled nightjar nesting. - View lodge details

Huab’s great attraction for bird-watchers is the excellent guiding provided by the experienced Jan – who is one of Namibia’s best wildlife/birding guides. It’s also a good place to spot Hartlaub’s francolin, which is one of Namibia’s near-endemic species. (They are restricted to northeast Namibia and a small area of Angola!) - View lodge details

There are trails around Okonjima that you can follow with, or without, one of the camp's guides. These pass by a variety of watering points, including dams, lakes and even bird-baths – all of which attract the local birdlife. It's a good spot for seeking the typical birdlife of Namibia's Central Highlands. - View lodge details

One of Mundulea's great attractions is the excellent and highly experienced guiding – including some first-class birding. The environment here is varied, from Kopjies to open plains, and so there's a good variety of birds to be seen here – including plenty of raptors. - View lodge details
